Static code analysis tool in Debian



Dear all,

I was wondering if a static code analysis tool has been packaged for
Debian. For example, I'm looking for something that would generate a
call-graph, i.e. which Java methods call a particular method and the
other way around.

A tool that comes to my mind is Soot [1]. As far as I can tell, it is
free software (licensed under LGPLv2.1). However, I don't see it
packaged for Debian. How come? I know compilers and IDEs provide some
static code analysis, but there are other than things done by the
compilers and IDEs a Java developer would be interested in, such as the
call-graph case mentioned above. I want to use this information (the
call-graph) in a program analysis tool.

Basically, I just want to check if there is already a tool for static
code analysis for Java along the lines described above, which is present
in Debian and that I am not aware of. If not, packaging Soot sounds like
the way to go.
