| title: Checking your Java errors with Error Prone. |
| --- |
| |
| We recently open-sourced our support for [Error Prone](https://errorprone.info). |
| [Error Prone](https://errorprone.info) checks for common mistakes in Java code |
| that will not be caught by the compiler. |
| |
| We turned [Error Prone](https://errorprone.info) on by default but you can easily |
| turn it off by using the Javac option `-XepDisableAllChecks`. To do so, simply |
| specify `--javacopt='XepDisableAllChecks` to the list of Bazel's options. You |
| can also tune the checks error-prone will perform by using the [`-Xep:` |
| flags](https://errorprone.info/docs/flags). |
| |
| See the [documentation of Error Prone](https://errorprone.info/docs/installation) for more |
| on Error Prone. |
