Klocwork Inc today released Klocwork Developer for Java (KDJ), a downloadable plug-in for Eclipse-based Java IDEs. KDJ provides enterprise-grade source code analysis for individual developers. The download is available at http://developer.klocwork.com.


As a seamless part of the most powerful Java development environments, KDJ automatically identifies security vulnerabilities and defects at the earliest possible stage of the development cycle, enabling the developer to focus on high quality, innovative code.

Built upon the award winning Klocwork technology proven in the most demanding development shops and open source projects globally, KDJ is the most powerful static code analysis tool available for the individual developer desktop. In particular, KDJ provides the highest degree of accuracy and efficiency when compared with other available Eclipse-based static analysis plug-ins. As part of the beta program, Klocwork received extremely positive feedback from over 50 developers citing its high value, its speed and accuracy, and its ease-of-use.

Other notable capabilities of Klocwork Developer for Java include:
- Critical Java defects and security vulnerabilities. KDJ automatically looks for hundreds of different defects and security vulnerabilities in Java, including array bounds violations, null pointer dereferences, cross site scripting, SQL injection, process creation injection, and resource leaks.

- Comprehensive Java support. KDJ fully supports the Java 1.5 specification for J2EE, J2SE and J2ME, as well as full support for earlier language specs.

- Java Security Analysis Aligned with OWASP. KDJ's vulnerability analysis provides excellent coverage of the vulnerabilities from the OWASP Top 10 list.

- Customizable. Klocwork Developer for Java allows you to modify specific defect checkers to focus on the errors you want to find and to reduce the detection of errors you aren't interested in.

- IDE Integration. Klocwork Developer for Java uses the Eclipse Plug-in framework to fully integrate with any Eclipse-based IDE and is certified as "Ready For Rational" for use with IBM Rational Application Developer.

Klocwork Developer for Java is available immediately at (http://developer.klocwork.com). Developers can download a fully-featured 30-day trial free of charge. The full license for KDJ can be purchased from the site for $299 per year. This subscription includes full access to the Klocwork Developer for Java community site, a resource for individual developers that includes online documentation and tutorials, user forums and online technical support.
