Because you usually write code very fast, you can sometimes made mistakes.
To prevent some stupid errors, folks from Google write the error prone compiler.
Have a look at the various detected patterns (yeah definitely more interesting than checkstyle :P )
Kudos to Alex Eagle for the contribution!.
The configuration to use it:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <compilerId>javac-with-errorprone</compilerId> <forceJavacCompilerUse>true</forceJavacCompilerUse> </configuration> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId> <artifactId>plexus-compiler-javac-errorprone</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> </dependency> <!-- NOTE this one will not be needed when plexus-compiler-javac-errorprone and error-prone will be released --> <dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId> <artifactId>plexus-compiler-javac</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin>Feel free to test, I hope we will be able to have released versions of those artifacts soon.

I tried this out and there were a couple changes needed to the instructions. I updated the docs on the error-prone wiki in case anyone else is giving this a try:
