It is a constant challenge for new, or seasoned, developers to have a grasp on suitable productivity tools to maximize Java code performance and quality. Most developers surrender to the flood of information and resign themselves to a select set of tools and avoid experimenting.

Java Power Tools does the job of covering the more robust sets of tools and giving you the ability to make an informed decision on what can work for you.

It can be a pain to individually research the tools and set them up in your development environment only to find that it may not work for your requirements.

Consider this book as doing the grunt work and giving you the ability to make a decision on which tools to invest your valuable time resource.
