Don´t lose time with tedious and repetitive work –

Let jSparrow do it!

Rule Based Approach

jSparrow is an automated and rule-based code improvement tool, which finds and fixes a wide variety of problems in Java sources. Currently, there are over 50 rules implemented, which are designed for applying coding conventions, removing code smells, improving readability and modernizing your Java codebase.

You find a detailed description of the rules on our documentation page.

Configurable Profiles

jSparrow has a rule based approach. Each refactoring is defined via a rule. jSparrow offers more than 50 rules. You can predefine the aspects you like to change in your projects, e.g. improving readability, performance, old language constructs, formatting, coding conventions or all together.

You can also select and group rules as profiles. These profiles can be easily exported and imported within your team or company. With your profiles you can ensure that your company standards will be kept with every usage of jSparrow.

See how you can create and use profiles in Eclipse, in Maven or Github.

Fast, faster, jSparrow

With jSparrow you can automatically refactor millions of lines of Java code – within just minutes. You can choose out of more than 50 powerful rules to easily bring your code to the latest Java standards as well as your team’s coding standards.

User guided

A rule based approach allows our users to stay in control at all times and apply only the improvements needed at the moment. jSparrow offers great flexibility in choosing which rules to apply, while having a safe and consistent workflow.

After confirming the selected rules, jSparrow analyses the chosen sources. In the preview wizard the findings are displayed. You can browse through the rules. The summary page shows you the number of findings, the duration time and the time you safe in applying jSparrow.

Reliable

To calculate the “technical debt” there are more than 500 rules that describe the debt of bugs, code smells and vulnerabilities. Not all of these rules can be refactored automatically.

Before the jSparrow team implements an automatic rule, the findings are thoroughly tested with all corner cases. Only those methods that can be replaced error-free by new ones are implemented as rules in jSparrow.

Local License Server

If your development environment does not have permanent access to the Internet or your company prefers to manage the licenses internally, a standalone server can be set up for jSparrow. For more information please contact us: info@jSparrow.eu
