Lack of Progress Bar (Lopb) is an Eclipse plugin that tracks how long developers wait for background jobs to complete. By benchmarking the performance of background jobs, Lopb provides developers with metrics on how much of their day was wasted due to overhead introduced by the development tools and infrastructure that they depend on or access through their IDE.
Macker is a build-time architectural rule checking utility for Java developers. It's meant to model the architectural ideals programmers always dream up for their projects, and then break -- it helps keep code clean and consistent. You can tailor a rules file to suit a specific project's structure, or write some general "good practice" rules for your code. Macker doesn't try to shove anybody else's rules down your throat; it's flexible, and writing a rules file is part of the development process for each unique project.
Read more about what it does and what it's for in the very exciting FAQ. If your curiousity's piqued, skim the guide, or inspect a few simple examples.
It's free (GPL). You can download it and try it out.

SONAR is a code quality management platform, dedicated to continuously analyze and measure technical quality, from the projects portfolio to the class method.
Lattix has pioneered an award-winning approach using system interdependencies to create an accurate blueprint of software applications, databases and systems. Architects and developers can analyze their systems in detail, edit the structure to create what-if scenarios, and specify design rules, allowing them to formalize and communicate the architecture to the entire organization. The result is higher quality, improved reliability, and much easier maintenance.
JDepend sorgt für gute Beziehungen

Irgendwie spuckt jDepend interessante Werte aus, aber was so richtig damit anfangen? Nur eine Zahl um so etwas wie Paket-Instabilität auszudrücken? Wieso soll ich mich überhaupt um zyklische Abhängigkeiten kümmern, wenn mein System doch prima läuft? Und was um alles in der Welt ist ein dot in der Graphenvisualisierung?
ztest
ztest is a small classlibrary based on java 1.5 intended to be used in junit tests.
The main purpose of ztest is to put constraints on the code structure of java programs.
It can and should be used to specify an architecure by putting constraints on class dependencies. The architecture can be reused by reusing the test.
ztest scans the bytecode of class files in directories, jars, wars, ears and computes a dependency graph. You can query this dependency graph and define the architecure by specifying valid dependencies and rejecting invalid ones.
ztest comes with a dependency-test (ZDependencyTest) with which you can define sets of classes and the allowed dependencies between them.
The class sets are defined by filtering the nodes of the dependeny graph.
How good is your software? jmove eases the understanding and valuation of the design and architecture of complex software written in java. It provides dependency analysis, metrics, design rule checking and impact analysis. Define your desired architecture model and check consistency with the implementation.
jmove offers a framework and an extendable set of tools to ease the understanding of the design and architecture of software systems and to provide support to control the software from this point of view. It is based on a model centric approach which allows to analyze different kind of sources like source code and byte code.
The concepts
The CodeCount toolset is a collection of tools designed to automate the collection of source code sizing information. The CodeCount toolset spans multiple programming languages and utilizes one of two possible Source Lines of Code (SLOC) definitions, physical or logical.
The CodeCount toolset is provided in source code only, and may be used as is, modified or further distributed subject to certain limitations.
The tools in the collection are supplied in C source code only. You are responsible for compiling and building executable versions.
The Product
The CodeCount toolset is copyright USC Center for Software Engineering but is made available with a Limited Public License which permits the distribution of the modifications you make provided you return a copy to us so we can further enhance the toolset for the benefit of all.
