    • ApkTool : "...It is a tool for reengineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc..."
    • JD : Java Decompiler
    • OWASP O2 Platform can be used to review the Android Java source code (create object model of compiled java code, search source-code files, model config files)
    • Commercial tools (like Fortify, IBM AppScan Source) can parse Java files (the question is "Do they have Android Specific rules")
