This paper presents the study and enhancement of LAPSE, a security software based on the static analysis of code for detecting security vulnerabilities in Java EE Applications. LAPSE was developed by the SUIF Compiler Group of Stanford University as a plugin for Eclipse Java IDE. The latest stable release of the plugin, LAPSE 2.5.6, dates from 2006, and it is obsolete in terms of the number of vulnerabilities detected and its integration with new versions of Eclipse. This paper focuses on introducing LAPSE+, an enhanced version of LAPSE 2.5.6. This new version of the plugin extends the functionality of the previous one, being updated to work with Eclipse Helios, providing a wider catalog of vulnerabilities and improvements for code analysis. In addition, the paper introduces a command-line version of LAPSE+ to make this tool independent of Eclipse Java IDE. This command-line version features the generation of XML reports of the potential vulnerabilities detected in the application.
