7 Productivity Tools That Java Developers Must Know!

Java is a brilliant programming language, loved by most of the developers worldwide. As technology is evolving every day, market demands of Java are growing larger. Software is an integral part of any business and to attract audience the best technology-enabled innovative products are needed. Java contributors always keep the language up-to-date with latest functionalities. Java has most productive and creative features and Java tools make the language more efficient. Let's have a look at seven Java development tools which every Java developer should be aware of:




1. Clover

It's a wonderful tool for test optimisation and successful execution of the tests for improvements in code. It gets executed in a continuous integration system or an IDE. It recognises anything that gets impacted by a coding error and focuses on more while testing. The code tweak doesn't affect testing speed and it delivers faster feedback after testing the code.

2. Jar Jar Links

While implementation of libraries in a product you might have noticed that packages and namespaces clash more than often. Jar Jar Links helps in resolving these issues by creating suitable packages. It can also help in overcoming dependency problems. It's also similar to Minijar Maven plug-in but has a different approach.

3. Bintray

Developers import libraries from repositories anonymously but they are not offered with any clear information on the process. With Bintray developers can view the code and also share the open source packages among several developers via this tool. It has mammoth repositories that have over 85,000 packages. Developers can find out the desired library easily too.

4. JEXL

It's an expression language that can be embedded. It's a library that helps in scripting and executes features of Java frameworks and applications. Thus technical consultants find it helpful to view hidden scripting features and implement them in builds as and when desired.

5. Takipi

This tool identifies and notifies the occurrence and reason for code breaks. It holds all the new errors and exceptions and represents their cause. It also epitomises the error and quickly resolves with the best possible solution. It detects and represents caught Http, errors and exceptions and it analyses the real code and variable states across apps and machines. It also determines how many times the errors have occurred ina a code with relevant comparison.

6. Librato

It's a hosted service that controls and monitors cloud applications. It also helps you in configuring a custom dashboard within seconds. It supports pure language bindings with Clojure, Java and also integration with AWS, Heroku and more. It's a perfect tool for implementation of any thing and makes data sensible.

7. Plumbr

It can resolve performance issues in real time. It can detect memory leaks, inefficient Garbage Collection and locked threads in the Java program. It also helps in smooth performance of the project. If there is any flaw in your program it represents the same. It also provides details about a memory leak, rate of leakage and the actual location too.
