Discussing the design, decisions and discovery involved in developing Mutability Detector, an open-source analysis tool for Java.

Version 0.7 Released

Mutability Detector v0.7 has been released. It is available for download at the project homepage, or from Maven Central with the details:

Group ID Artifact ID Version
org.mutabilitydetector MutabilityDetector 0.7

This release included improvements in two areas: improve support allowing reasons for mutability in unit tests,  and the introduction of analysis on the 'this' reference escaping. It also includes more documentation to help get started with unit testing for immutability (view online or as JavaDoc embedded in the sources jar).

Other more minor improvements include:
Any and all feedback welcome.

Also, if you do use Mutability Detector, and your source is accessible, please get in touch. When releasing new versions I want to have as little inconvenience for users as possible, and currently I only judge this using a pretend client codebase. Potentially I could add your project to my continuous integration setup, and test my trunk code against yours to give more realistic feedback.

There's already a couple of issues I want to include in the next release (issues 17, 18, 19 at least) and of course, there's always "The String Problem", but if there's anything that's affecting you, please do get in touch.
