If you work with SAP’s ABAP programming language, keeping your code clean, consistent, and up to modern standards can be a time-consuming challenge, especially across a team. ABAP Cleaner is a free, open-source plugin for Eclipse (via ABAP Development Tools) that automatically applies over 100 configurable cleanup rules to your code. From fixing indentation and replacing obsolete syntax with modern equivalents, to standardising spacing and removing unnecessary code, it takes the grunt work out of code hygiene.
It supports both automated and interactive cleaning modes, so you can either let it run silently or review every change side by side before applying it. You can even customise which rules are active to match your team’s coding standards.
Whether you’re working on legacy code or a fresh project, ABAP Cleaner is a practical tool worth adding to your ABAP development workflow.
