[news.eclipse.tools] interesting code analysis ...

["Laura Moyes" <moyes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going to write a code analysis tool for my final year project at
university - I have had a years experience of eclipse at IBM mostly GUI
programming and a few years of java experience.

I am having problems getting started - three things have been suggested:

SOOT    - there is a plugin for eclipse so I can use this
JVMPI   - java 1.4 and below
JVMMI  - java 1.5

If anyone has useful starting points or has any views on the above please
let me know ..... I have very little experience in C but I am willing to
learn :)

I have looked at the eclipse profiler (I only found it the day after I
submitted my idea to university, which is a shame) it looks amazing,
apparently it uses the JVMPI so it will not work in java 1.5...

If anyone has an good book references - any ideas about what is best to
use - can I use the JVMMI for everything or is it just for threads(sorry I'm
still just starting and haven't looked up everything yet) - any advise will
be much appreciated !

thanks.
