A few improvement here and there:

gracefully handle empty input directories
speedup loading of analysis dependencies
reduce memory requirements
performance increase during analysis
basic reporting

Take a look in the download area for the standalone version (which includes the Ant task). Otherwise use the maven-jarnotator-plugin to automatically download the tool.

The jarnotator tool aims at being easy to use. To that end it is also possible to invoke jarnotator on the command line. The command line tools support all the parameters as its ant task and maven2 plugin counterparts.

The command line tool is ideally suited to analyse third party jars since you are less likely to build those from source.

Using jarnotator in an Ant build

Since jarnotator provides a Ant task it can be used directly from within Apache Ant build scripts. The Ant task provides all the jarnotator options. All in all the Ant task fairly easy to use. Analyzing your classes as part of a build is trivial.

The necessary setup to use the jarnotator task is that of any other external Ant task. The remainder of this page briefly outlines how to get started. For more detailed information please refer to the Apache Ant documentation related to the use of external Ant tasks.
