We Have Code Quality At Home: Open Source Java Code Quality Tools
SpotBugs is an open source static anlysis tool. "SpotBugs uses static analysis to inspect Java bytecode for occurrences of bug patterns." This means that SpotBugs runs against the compiled source source code, rather than raw Java files. Because it analyses bytecode, it can catch some types of bugs that source code analysis would not catch.
