Research related to alias protection and related concepts, such as, confined types and ownership types has a long tradition and is a promising concept for the design and implementation of more reliable and secure software. Unfortunately, the use of these concepts is not widespread as most implementations are proofs of concept and fall short with respect to the integration with standard software development tools and processes. In this paper, we discuss an implementation of confined types based on Java 5 annotations. The contribution of this paper is twofold: First, we discuss the incrementalization of the confined types analysis and second, we present the integration of the analysis into Eclipse using the static analysis platform Magellan.
