JWalk is a tool for inspecting Java source code; it can be used to automate a great variety of jobs, including the enforcement of project coding standards and the creation of documentation. It can also detect some kinds of suspicious coding.
There are many quality criteria for source code which vary widely from project to project; for this reason JWalk is programmable, so that the tests it applies can be customised and even written entirely from scratch if necessary to adapt it to a particular project.
Most of JWalk is written in Tcl, on top of a loadable extension which provides a Java parser. This makes it possible to put JWalk's abilities into a variety of tools.
