Description
ESC/Java2 Frontend
ESC/Java2 Frontend is a cool tool that helps you work with Java code. It takes Java 1.4 source code and Java 1.5 bytecode and turns it into something called an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This tree makes it easier to check for errors in your code with something known as Extended Static Checking.
What is ESC/Java2?
The Extended Static Checker for Java version 2, or ESC/Java2, is a handy programming tool designed to spot common run-time mistakes in JML-annotated Java programs. It does this by looking closely at the program's code and any special notes (formal annotations) you add to it. You can even control how much checking ESC/Java2 does by adding specific comments called pragmas right into your code!
Different Versions of ESC/Java2
So, there are two ways you can use ESC/Java2:
- First, there's a command-line tool that comes with a simple Swing GUI front-end.
- Second, you can get it as an Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) plugin, which is pretty neat!
Requirements to Use ESC/Java2
Requirements:
- You need to have Java version 1.4 or later installed on your machine.
What's New in This Release?
Here's what's new:
- The AST Vector and Test classes are now part of the Javafe library.
- If you're using MacOS X or Linux, you'll be happy to know that the binary executables for the ASTGEN and ASTFILELIST tools have been prebuilt just for you!
