Quick Scanning Engines
QSE is a set of engines for static code analysis, and the like, which are designed from the ground up to be extremely quick.

The first engine is the License Inspector (QSE Lin), basically a faster successor to Apache Rat. The License Inspector consists of the two Maven modules qse-lin-core (the actual scanning engine), and a Maven plugin (qse-lin-maven), which allows to run the engine from within Maven. QSE Lin scans itself (the core project) in less than 500 milliseconds. That's sufficiently fast to have it running within a Git, or Subversion hook.

The second engine is the IntegrationServer Package Scanner (QSE IS), which analyzes packages for the webMethods Integration server. This can be used to detect violations of best practices, as developed in a big scaled customer project, which has been running over several years, creating a few hundreds of such packages. The IS package scanner is implemented by the two Maven projects qse-is (the actual scanning engine), and an Ant task (qse-is-ant), which enables running the engine from within Ant.
