Custom Static Code Analysis

NetBeans 7.1 introduced a way to declaratively describe custom refactorings with a Java-like DSL. It can be used to improve large code bases quickly by replacing invocations of deprecated methods and antipatterns with up-to-date idioms. The same concepts can be used to achieve much more. A key component is a standalone runner of these custom refactorings. One particularly interesting possibility is to describe the project-specific code antipatterns with the language for custom refactorings and check the code in the continuous builder, on the command line, or in the IDE. This presentation shows how to describe the antipatterns and how to run the standalone checker on the continuous builder.
