HCL® AppScan® Source for Development (Eclipse Plug-in)
With AppScan® Source for Development, you can work in your existing development environment and perform security vulnerability analysis on Java and IBM® MobileFirst Platform projects. Security analysis lets you pinpoint vulnerabilities in the source code and eliminate them entirely with AppScan Source Security Knowledgebase remediation assistance.
Views and windows
AppScan® Source for Development views and windows provide alternative presentations of findings, support code editing, and allow you to navigate the information in your workbench. A view might appear by itself, or stacked with other views in a tabbed notebook. You can change the layout of a perspective or window layout by opening and closing views and by docking them in different positions in the Workbench window.
Problems view
The Problems View displays code problems, errors, and warnings. When you double-click the icon for a problem, error, or warning, the Java™ Editor opens with the problem code underlined.
