Simon, There are numerous tools you can use. The two main ones available are:
- Checkstyle (http://checkstyle.sf.net) - PMD (http://pmd.sf.net) Historically Checkstyle focuses more on coding standards and checks for things like Javadoc quality, brace placement, use of whitespace, number of parameters in methods, etc. It does find unused imports and other QA checks. PMD has more of a bent on analysing the meaning of the source code, to find unused imports, variables, methods + plus other tests. Hence it is slower than Checkstyle. There is a degree of overlap between them both. It depends on what you are wanting to achieve (and how quickly) as to which one to use.
