#2 Ant Integration / Headless Operation
This tool could be a very helpful static code analysis tool (see Macker, http://innig.net/macker/\), if only it had a way to run without a UI. Create an ant, or non-UI command-line interface for this purpose. Output in XML would be ideal.
Your serialVersionUID query could be a start at a standard set of queries.

This is an interesting idea. Browse-by-Query (the standalone version) include a simple (rudimentary, undocumented) command line interface.
You can start it with the following command:
java -cp bbqstandalone_0.5.4.jar com.antlersoft.analyzer.TestQuery sample.pj
Where sample.pj is a BBQ database directory, built with one of the other tools.
You enter queries at the prompt, and they are executed immediately and the results printed.
There is also a command-line tool for adding classes to a database:
java -cp bbqstandalone_0.5.4.jar com.antlersoft.analyzer.TestQuery <file>
Where <file> can be a .class file, a .jar (all contained class files and jars will be added to the database), or a directory (which is traversed and all contained class files or jars are added to the database).
I must admit that I'm not familiar with what would be required for BBQ to work nicely as an ant task.
