A Tool for Source Code Analysis

Code transformation and analysis tools provide support for software engineering tasks such as style checking, testing, calculating software metrics as well as reverse- and re-engineering. In a reverse step information is picked from a source text in order to facilitate its comprehension, its visualization or the check of agreed standards concerning coding quality or layout. In this short paper (see [3] for details) we describe JTrans-form, a general Java source code processing and transfor-mation framework. It consists out of a Java parser gener-ating a congurable parse tree and various visitors (trans-formers, tree evaluators) which produce different kind of outputs. 27.1 Architectur
