People often think that Java code coverage tools are only used for testing. I beg to differ. I was recently investigating a JVM crash issue and had been interested in seeing which lines of code among those that were run could have had an influence on the crash.

In this tutorial style article I’ll discuss how to configure Eclipse for Java Native Interface (JNI) development based on a sample project that you can copy and modify. I.e, you can have a single project that can be both Java and C at the same time, and support a full code navigation and debugging of both languages.
This article is focused on the configuration of Eclipse rather than explaining JNI itself, however there are links to JNI literature at the end.

“Even bad code can function. But if code isn’t clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees” — Clean Code
We spent 10 times more time reading code than writing it. Thus keeping code clean is essential for maintainability and company growth, but doing it by hand can be tedious.
Let’s take a look at some of the clean code practices and how we can use Eclipse to re-factor code faster.

Last time we discussed de-duplicating some code. Today let us look into the effectiveness of refactored code, Java 8 support and moving/renaming code.

Do you have a Java application that runs fine at first but slows down after a while, or it runs fine for a small number of files but performance degrades for large number of files? Maybe you have a memory leak.

Eclipse EGit plugin allows one to perform most every day git operations through the gui. (e.g commit with a sign-off/gerrit ID. View history, hard-reset, difference comparisons, Stashing, branching, etc.. )
The main advantage is that it makes some operations faster than through the command line, (e.g one doesn’t have to type in file names or copy commit-id’s).
