DesigniteJava is a code quality assessment tool for code written in Java. It detects numerous design and implementation smells that show maintainability issues present in the analyzed code. It also computes many commonly used object-oriented metrics. It helps you reduce technical debt and improve maintainability of your software.
DesigniteJava community edition is free and open-source.

Usage
Download the DesigniteJava.jar and analyze a Java project using the following syntax.
java -jar DesigniteJava.jar -i <path of the input source folder> -o <path of the output folder>
It requires Java 8 or above to work.
