[jbossts-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBTM-1020) Consider usings a tool for finding common bugs

Paul Robinson created JBTM-1020: ----------------------------------- Summary: Consider usings a tool for finding common bugs Key: JBTM-1020 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-1020 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Reporter: Paul Robinson Assignee: Tom Jenkinson Fix For: 5.0.0.M2 A recent bug in XTS recovery was found to be caused by the use of == rather than .equals() for String comparison. This type of bug can go unnoticed for a long period of time as == will usually return true for Strings with identical contents. However, it is not guaranteed. I think it would be handy to run some tool every now and then to look for these types of bugs. I'm not sure how feasible this would be as it may return too many false positives. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
