Our project will integrate mutation testing as part of its build cycle. Right now, we are on the evaluation phase.
So far, I have only found that Jester has a maven-plugin (Grester). I have not been able to find anything for the other mutation testing tools available (Jumble, µJava and Javalanche). Of course, we want full maven integration. We do not want to reinvent the wheel (i.e., write our own maven plugin for the tool that we choose).
Do you know of any maven-plugins for those Jumble, µJava and Javalanche? I've already googled and, like I said, have only found Grester. Also, if you know of any other mutation testing tools for java, any hints will be greatly appreciated.
PIT, provides a Maven plugin.
It's available from Maven central and has the advantage of being considerably faster than Jester, Jumble or muJava. It is also actively developed and supported which does not seem to be the case for Jester or muJava.
(disclosure I'm the author and am probably unfairly biased)
Of the mutation testing tools in the java world, I've found this about Maven support:
µJava: no
Bacterio: no (uses its own ide)
Javalanche: no (uses its own ide)
muTest (µTest): no
Jumble: yes
PIT: yes
Jester: yes
Simple Jester: no
Judy: no
MAJOR: no (uses its own compiler)
(This information was found by googling and from the article Delahaye, du Bousquet: A Comparison of Mutation Analysis Tools for Java.)
My vote would also go for PIT.

I am currently working on a Java project with "IBM Rational Software Architect"(Licensed Version) as an IDE .My task is to understand the code flow and need to prepare Technical Document as the project is very big (a lot of codes, classes, packages, etc) and undocumented. Since, the project is written in Java, my idea was to reverse engineer this project to see its architecture in UML. Do suggest me any open source software/ plugin that suits my IDE and can complete the task very easily?
I googled and found many useful Tools for Eclipse IDE but not for IBM Rational Software Architect.
Thanks for your answer !!
StarUML is a good open source tool, I think it have what you desire.
You should consider stand-alone products. For generating sequence diagrams and jar dependencies dynamically try jSonde
Static code analysis will suit for class diagrams - any modern IDE (like IntelliJ IDEA) can generate it
You can try "Modelio" which is Open Source and can reverse and generate class diagram.

For my software engineering class project, my group and I are developing and Android application. We have decided the best way to keep the code managed is via the subversion control plugin for Eclipse. However, none of us have actually managed our own repository. We have always been given it from our professors. Where can I find a free repository to upload our code? Thanks!
There are tons of places that offer free repositories. Here are few:
https://www.assembla.com/subversion/
http://www.projectlocker.com/
http://riouxsvn.com/
http://beanstalkapp.com/
I would definitely recommend Assembla. The first time I used it I was in a similar situation as you. Didn't know what to choose, overwhelmed by all the choices. I went with Assembla and having used Assembla extensively since, I'm quite sure it will satisfy your needs. Has great features for team working also, and being robust, free and easy to manage it's worth a try.

I have made a couple dozens of tests for a legacy system I was handed over.
They generally test/describe some high level feature of the system, and I generally include in the test file itself a little comment about that feature. In this way, I both have a regression test suite and I'm compiling knowledge of the system in a single place, so others in the future don't have to lose all the time I lost trying to understand the (up to now) undocumented system.
Now, I was looking for some tool that would allow me to organize and see the high level features in a simpler way than having to look up to the test files. If it allowed a tag system, even better.
I have heard of Fitnesse but it doesn't look to fit really in what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for a tool to bridge the communication between the client and developers.
This project is coded in Java.
Thanks
If you moved the documentation from the unit tests to the classes you are testing, you could use either standard JavaDoc or doxygen.

I want to generate a program dependence graph (PDG) from Java Bytecode for further programmatic analysis. Since this is old (the paper is from '87) and presumably well-known technology, I thought that appropriate tools would be readily available---however I wasn't able to find them.
In fact an extensive search turned up only a few results:
The Bandera project which was abandoned in 2006.
The Indus project which seems not to have received any effort since 2007, except for it being made Open Source in 2009.
The Moose JEE Project which seems to be pretty new as there is basically no documentation whatsoever.
And the Soot framework, which provides some classes (see JavaDoc) but seems to lack an implementation for the generation. In fact, Soot is the basis for Bandera and Indus.
So my question is the following: Is there any alive and maintained implementation out there? Does anybody have experience in either one of the aforementioned projects? What would you recommend?
Thank you already for your input, it is highly appreciated!
I suggest you check out WALA, a system that extracts SSA representations from java byte code files.
I have no experience with this, but have reviewed a number of software engineering technical papers that seemed well-thought out, and apparantly used WALA as a foundation for their research.

I'm having a hard time making the connection between testing and code. I could ask numerous questions here about things like directory structure and naming of test classes and JUnit 3 vs 4 and so on, but I'd rather find a sample project that does it right and learn by reading it.
I'd like something not too complex so that I can understand it easily, and JUnit 4 would be best (no reason to stick with 3 since I'm starting fresh, right?). I'm on Windows 7, I use Eclipse and I'm planning/hoping to learn and use Hudson. I like Ant, haven't had a good experience with Maven but that's cool too.
Is there a sample project out there that fits this criteria?
edit: Neither of these answers mentioned Hudson; I really like the Craftsman articles (and maybe it goes into continuous integration) but does anyone else have any other suggestions?
I found the Craftsman articles by Robert Martin (Uncle Bob) an excellent resource for learning effective unit testing. It focuses on Test Driven Development and walks you through the experience of a new coder learning how to test code. The first article can be found here and is called The Craftsman #1: Opening Disaster.
If you're looking for an easy example of project structure and convention, I would recommend giving Maven another go. To use it with Eclipse, install the M2Eclipse plugin, and create a Maven project using one of the Maven archetypes. The archetypes build simple template projects, including source and test structure, and will run with Maven and Eclipse right away.
