JCodeOdor

JCodeOdor is a tool for code smells detection. It bases its detection upon the detection of 43 metrics, and provides original features, like the filtering of false positives and the sorting of results basing on their harmfulness.

See the JCodeOdor CLI documentation.

• Version 1.0: Download

JCodeOdor is distributed as a single zip file, containing the program and the precomputed metric values for 74 systems. To run JCodeOdor double-click JCodeOdor.jar, or type java -jar JCodeOdor.jar from the command line. The GUI will show up.

From the GUI, it is possible to select one of the 74 systems, and run the detection. The list of the detected instances for each code smell type is shown in the respective tab. Results are sorted by Harmfulness value.

Please notice that the largest systems among the 74 available require more than 2Gb of RAM to be analyzed. They are:

• poi-3.6
• argouml-0.34
• jruby-1.5.2
• weka-3.7.5

The smaller systems, instead, have small RAM and CPU requirements, and can be used to quickly show the tool’s capabilities:

• fitjava-1.1
• jasml-0.10
• jFin_DateMath-R1.0.1
• nekohtml-1.9.14
