ABSTRACT
JML is an ambitious project in formal specification and verification, ongoing since 1997, that has aimed to bring value to Java programmers. Participants in the project are now undertaking a significant revision of the language itself (Cok, Leavens, Ulbrich) and accompanying that with educational materials (Cok, Meija, Leavens), documentation rewrites and tool upgrades (Cok). The current state of this work-in-progress is presented here in order to encourage wide-spread contribution and comment on the language revisions, its semantics, the educational tutorial, and related tools.

JML and OpenJML for Java 16
FTfJP '21: Proceedings of the 23rd ACM International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Java-like ProgramsAs the Java language evolves, the Java Modeling Language (JML) and the OpenJML deductive verification tool must evolve with it. Changes in Java since Java 8 bring language and organizational changes which affect the semantics of JML and the ...
OpenJML: JML for Java 7 by extending OpenJDK
NFM'11: Proceedings of the Third international conference on NASA Formal methodsThe Java Modeling Language is a widely used specification language for Java. However, the tool support has not kept pace with advances in the Java language. This paper describes OpenJML, an implementation of JML tools built by extending the OpenJDK Java ...
Non-null references by default in the Java modeling language
Based on our experiences and those of our peers, we hypothesized that in Java code, the majority of declarations that are of reference types are meant to be non-null. Unfortunately, the Java Modeling Language (JML), like most interface specification and ...
