ESC/Java was originally developed at the [[DEC Systems Research Center|Compaq Systems Research Center]] (SRC). SRC launched the project in 1997, after work on their original extended static checker, ESC/Modula-3, ended in 1996. In 2002, SRC released the [[source code]] for ESC/Java and related tools. Recent versions of ESC/Java are based around the [[Java Modeling Language]] (JML). Users can control the amount and kinds of checking by annotating their programs with specially formatted comments or ''[[Directive (programming)|pragmas]]''.

The [[Radboud University Nijmegen|University of Nijmegen]]'s ''Security of Systems'' group released alpha versions of ESC/Java2, an extended version of ESC/Java that processes the [[Java Modeling Language|JML]] specification language through 2004. Since 2004, ESC/Java2 development has been managed by the KindSoftware Research Group at [[University College Dublin]]. Over the years, ESC/Java2 has gained many new features including the ability to reason with multiple [[theorem prover]]s and integration with [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]].
