I am using http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/ and it works really well. of course it won't find all problems, but anything to do with potential null pointers, potential synchronization problems, etc. it comes as an eclipse plugin that integrates with the "markers" view (the one that shows you the problems).

You can also look at them:

  • JDepend
  • Emma - for unit test coverage%
  • Ditto for checking duplicate code
