Build Tools

Tools to assist with compiling and/or building Java software.

Code Exploring and Managing

Source and Class code exploring, fast finding, dependency tracking, package moving and renaming tools.

Code Refactoring

Tools, almost always pure software, to help refactor (restructure) computer code, especially inheritance hierarchies. All such software automatically analyzes code. Some of it automatically refactors code. Some even automatically deletes duplicate code. Such tools are most useful for object-oriented code, and even more so for prototype-based code. The tools in this category are for use with Java, and mostly Java-based.

Debugging

Programs primarily intended to aid in finding and fixing bugs.

Deployment

Please only submit software related to java executable wrapping, typically tools that generate executable stubs (whatever the target plaform).

Tools like GCJ that compile java bytecode into autonomous (i.e. not relying on an installed JVM) executable binaries for a given platform should not be considered as "wrappers", and should be proposed to the parent category Computers: Programming: Languages: Java: Development Tools: Deployment

Software relative to JNI should not be proposed here either, but rather to Computers: Programming: Languages: Java: Class Libraries: Platform Specific

more information

Tools for use in deploying/releasing software, such as jar creators.

Documentation Tools

Source-based documentation generators, fast search tools, viewers and other documentation creation, conversion and using tools.

GUI Builders

Tools for creating Graphical User Interfaces for Java applications.

Performance and Testing

Please do only submit tools to this cat that offer Java code coverage only. Tools that cover code coverage for various programming languages are to be submitted to the general software testing category which is linked with this category as related. Tools which offer more testing functions than code coverage are to be submitted to the superordinated category.

The closer a submitted site is to its actual topic, the faster a submission will be processed.
