    While the security findings can be pretty elaborate and helpful, the code quality and performance focused findings are not that impressive and can often be detected by more basic or powerful tools like SonarQube (paying) or PMD (free). To see what I mean you can have a look at the list of Java code quality detectors, which is pretty short and contains a lot of simple findings like:

    Also saw this convo has a couple years worth of ideas going on … https://github.com/pmd/pmd/issues/3413
  • Custom Gradle Plugin for Unified Static Code Analysis
    3 projects | dev.to | 4 Feb 2023
    PMD and Checkstyle are static analysis tools that check your code on each project build. Gradle allows to apply them easily.
  • Spring Boot – Black Box Testing
    9 projects | dev.to | 13 Nov 2022
    The generated classes should be put into .gitignore. Otherwise, if you have Checkstyle, PMD, or SonarQube in your project, then generated classes can violate some rules. Besides, if you don't put them into .gitignore, then each pull request might become huge due to the fact that even a slightest fix can lead to lots of changes in the generated classes.

  • Writing Clean and Consistent Code with Static Analysis using PMD and Apex
    6 projects | dev.to | 28 Jan 2022
    Open up the config/ruleset.xml file, and you’ll find an XML document that lists several rules. These rules map to the issues which PMD will report on. Believe it or not, there are hundreds of Apex rules, and you can find the full set at the PMD repo. You have complete control over which rules to enable. Typically, you’d determine which ones are important by agreeing with your teammates on the ones that matter most. After all, their code will be statically analyzed, too!
