MEntoR is a source code analysis tool that is integrated into the development environment (IDE) to suggest implementation improvements. MEntoR is a front-end for Prospector. Prospector extracts properties of source code entities of an application, and calculates association rules which indicate which properties tend to occur together. The purpose of MEntoR is to identify missing properties in the source code entity that is being browsed in the IDE based on other properties that the entity has. For instance, showing whenever a source code entity violates an idiom.
