Hammurapi is a static analysis tool for identifying potential problems in source code and for collecting metrics. The tool's architecture allows one to analyze source files written in different programming languages. As of version 5.6.0, only Java is supported. There are 88 out-of-the-box Java inspectors.
The tool was named after Hammurabi, the father of written laws.
Hammurapi uses the visitor pattern and a forward chaining inference engine – “Hammurapi Rules” – to analyze code and report potential problems and metrics.
[edit] Embodiments
Hammurapi can be used as a plugin for Eclipse, an Ant task, or can be embedded in a Java application.
