NASA Open Sources PathFinder

According to the JDJ, NASA is open sourcing their PathFinder application which finds bugs in Java programs. PathFinder is a JVM that traces through Java programs and looks for things like deadlocks and unhandled exceptions.

I think this looks really cool. I imagine this would fit well with Cleanroom Software Engineering practices - you want to guarantee reliability. This would definitely help you do that.
