jSparrow automatically finds and replaces different kinds of threats in Java software systems. It offers a set of powerful rules where you can choose which rules shall be applied.

The first step is to select the sources / projects on which jSparrow shall be applied. The second step is to decide which rules shall be deployed. jSparrow offers a powerful preview function which shows the changes in advance. If you have applied jSparrow, you get a report with all changes accomplished.

With jSparrow you can create profiles to bundle different sets of rules.* By using profiles in a team or in the whole development department you can set company standards and make sure the coding conventions are consistent.

jSparrow automates things like:

• taking care of formatting and minimizing code smells.
• transforming old language constructs to new language constructs.
• using more efficient constructs thus improving performance.

jSparrow is available as Eclipse plugin and can be integrated in the build process with the Maven plugin.
