We have written a lot of code till now. We have used Java collections, Swing, as well as threading concepts.
However, cranking code is not all. Software that we write has to be bug free and it also has to be maintained over time. There are several reports which suggest that a bug caught early in the development lifecycle is orders of magnitude easier (and cheaper) to fix than one caught later in the development lifecycle.
Because of this we want to ensure code quality. There are several ways of doing this. Diligent coding, manual code reviews, and automated code reviews. I am already going to assume that everyone is writing their code diligently. We have also done manual code reviews. This task deals with setting up automated code reviews.
FindBugs is an excellent software which statically reviews Java code. Download and install FindBugs as a plugin for your IDE and see how many bugs it reports for your code.
Then understand and fix all the bugs.
Describe what you did, any problems that you may have faced and how you overcame them, in a blog post.
