Is there a static analysis tool which automatically checks for race conditions in Java projects? Preferably the one supporting Eclipse, Spring and Hibernate. Thanks
EDIT: I may need not necessarily a static analysis tool but maybe a tool which runs the java threads (at least JUnit) with different random speed and also can reproduce the same speed profile under debugger. So, almost any way of detecting race conditions would be helpful.
RapiTest helps you test potential race conditions in your code. Using RapiTest, you can: Design and run a multithreaded test. Identify potential race conditions.
Race conditions can be avoided by proper thread synchronization in critical sections. Thread synchronization can be achieved using a synchronized block of Java code. Thread synchronization can also be achieved using other synchronization constructs like locks or atomic variables like java. util.
Static analysis identifies defects before you run a program (e.g., between coding and unit testing). Dynamic code analysis identifies defects after you run a program (e.g., during unit testing). However, some coding errors might not surface during unit testing.
JLint can be used to detect race-conditions. IBM's ConTest is designed to test concurrency issues, so have a look at that as well.
