Static Analysis in Spring Boot

How static code analysis fits Spring Boot apps — toolkit, what it catches, Spring-specific rules, CI gates, and sample findings.

What It Is

Analyze source / bytecode without starting Spring

Toolkit (Java / Boot)

Checkstyle — naming, imports, braces, javadoc gates

What It Catches Well

Null derefs, ignored return values, bad casts

Spring Boot Lens

Ban field @Autowired → prefer constructors
