'''ESC/Java''', the "Compaq Extended Static Checker for Java," is a [[programming tool]] that attempts to find common [[run-time error]]s in [[Java programming language|Java]] programs by [[static analysis]] of the program text. Users can control the amount and kinds of checking by annotating their programs with specially formatted comments or ''[[pragma]]s''.

ESC/Java was 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.
