jSparrow is an automated Eclipse PlugIn, which finds and replaces different kinds of threats in Java sources with a rule based approach. It improves your Java code and transforms it to Java 7/8.

jSparrow has a set of 44 rules now, which are grouped into seven categories (see rule matrix in our screenshots):
    • String manipulation
    • Formatting
    • Coding Convention
    • Performance
    • Readability
    • Old language constructs
    • Lambda
    • Logging

Removal of potential bugs and code smells is one of the main purposes of jSparrow. jSparrow is very efficient in disposing of these threats with its rules. You can group the profiles into individual rule profiles, which also can be exported and imported to share them within your development team.

Being up to date with the latest Java standards is requiring a lot of software maintenance work. jSparrow upgrades old code-artifacts to new state-of-the-art programming practices. The usage of jSparrow´s full version allows you to save a lot of valuable time, while offering the option of automatically upgrading to the latest version of Java within minutes in a safe way.

jSparrow improved his Preview Wizard and the Summary Page. It now estimates the time to fix issues manually. The preview wizard shows the number of issues fixed and estimates your saved time. (see screenshots or our release notes: https://jsparrow.eu/changelog/)

Once you installed jSparrow in your Eclipse – you will SAVE MONEY & TIME in modernizing your Java sources.

The Checkstyle Plugin (eclipse-cs) integrates the well-known source code analyzer Checkstyle into the Eclipse IDE. Checkstyle is a development tool to help you ensure that your Java code adheres to a set of coding standards. Checkstyle does this by inspecting your Java source code and pointing out items that deviate from a defined set of coding rules. With the Checkstyle Plugin your code is constantly inspected for problems. Within the Eclipse workbench you are notified of problems via the Eclipse Problems View and source code annotations just as you would see with compiler errors or warnings. A comfortable Checkstyle configuration editor helps you create and maintain your audit rule configurations. Using filters and file sets you are able to define which files get checked and which don't.

EMF Forms provides a new way of developing form-based UIs. Instead of manually coding form-based layouts, it allows you to describe the UI with a simple model instead of with code. The approach allows you to more efficiently produce and iteratively refine form-based UIs that conform to a uniform look and feel. EMF Forms also lowers the technical entry barrier to creating form-based UIs. The UI description is interpreted by a rendering engine and allows you to switch between the UI technology stack to Swing, SWT, JavaFX or Web just by replacing the renderer.

The EMF Client Platform is a framework for building EMF-based client applications. The goal is to provide a one-click application based on a given EMF model. No additional components have to be developed or generated beyond the EMF model, therefore, ECP provides a standard solution offering the most common features needed for EMF-based client applications. In particular, these features are: A navigator showing the hierarchy of a model instance that allows browsing of models, DnD and creation of new instances. An editor that shows all attributes and references of a particular model element and allows modifications to the element. A couple of modal dialogs, e.g., those allowing the selection of and search for model elements. A transparent workspace interface that allows different persistency layers (e.g., EMFStore or CDO) The UI provided by the EMF Client Platform can then be customized step by step. This can be done by extending ECP or by replacing single components completely.

RAP provides a powerful widget toolkit and integrates well with proven technologies such as OSGi and JEE. You can write your application entirely in Java, re-use code and benefit from first-class IDE tools. The RAP Tools contain useful tools, templates and documentation for RAP developers. It comes with a target installer for the latest RAP target platform. The project is part of the Eclipse Oxygen Simultaneous Release and has released its version 3.4.0.

JBizMo supports building of JavaFX, Eclipse RCP, Eclipse RAP, Swing, JSF (Primefaces) and Vaadin applications. The generated applications can run in a stand-alone mode or they can be deployed on a Java EE server (JBoss 8, GlassFish 4). Alternatively, the Spring platform is also supported! JBizMo applications use JPA in order to access the target database. The plug-in contains a graphical editor for designing the domain model. Test the generated application by model GUI tests based on Selenium. Please note that Java 8 is required!

<h2>
<strong>Troubleshooting installation failure</strong></h2>
<p>Here are some common reasons installation fails, and steps to resolve</p>
<p><strong>sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed</strong></p>
<p>This happens, because your Java is unable to verify the certificate used by the update site. The update site uses valid certificate from <strong>Let&#39;s Encrypt</strong>, older Java (before 1.8.101) does not contain this root certificate. This together with some firewall settings can cause this error.<br />
See this article: <a href="https://dzone.com/articles/eclipse-plug-ins-via-https-amp-lets-encrypt">... />
Possible way to fix:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Update Java version to at lest 1.8.101</li>
<li>
Import Let&#39;s Encrypt root certificate manually (refer to above article)</li>
<li>
Use my FTP download site (See below)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Connection timeout</strong></p>
<p>This is a temporary problem, while accessing the update site. The server most of the times will be available again in a couple of minutes.</p>
<ul>
<li>
You may try the FTP download site (see below)</li>
</ul>
<p><em>For any other failure please contact me in the comments or Github.</em></p>
<p><strong>Installing via FTP update site</strong></p>
<p>In your Eclipse go to:</p>
<p>Help-&gt;Install new software-&gt;Copy and paste the following URI:</p>
<p>ftp://helospark.com:21/eclipse_plugin/SparkBuilderGeneratorPlugin/<br />
(alternatively if port 21 is blocked, use port 799)<br />
Select the latest version (should be under SparkTools category) and install.<br />
<br />
<strong>Installing from backup</strong></p>
<p>In case both FTP and HTTPS update sites are unavailable, you can install jar file from Mediafire backup:<br />
<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/c10niop92f7tsic/com.helospark.SparkBuilder... backup</a> (entire update site: www.mediafire.com/folder/ya4g0y69b24vu/plugins)<br />
Locate the jar file, you wish to install (probably the latest), and copy it to your Eclipse&#39;s dropin folder.</p>
