public class MAudit
extends AbstractMetamataTask

Invokes the Metamata Audit/ Webgain Quality Analyzer on a set of Java files.

maudit performs static analysis of the Java source code and byte code files to find and report errors of style and potential problems related to performance, maintenance and robustness. As a convenience, a stylesheet is given in `etc` directory, so that an HTML report can be generated from the XML file.
