Error Prone plugs into javac to catch code that compiles but is most likely wrong. A tour of its built-in checks, Refaster rules and custom BugCheckers.

Hello ,

Thanks for your article. I believe a tool that catches errors at compile time—before the code review—would speed up the review process; it is particularly valuable for catching code that compiles but behaves incorrectly.

I have two questions:

1-When using Error Prone in a real-world project, which rules do you think are best configured as ERROR versus WARNING? How would you suggest managing the transition for an existing, large codebase?
2-I am considering automating the check locally before pushing (e.g., running Error Prone during compilation via a pre-push hook). Do you implement this in your own projects, or do you primarily rely on CI for these checks?

Thanks in advance.
