Hi,
I have setup a basic jdepend task and report (dependency information about
codebase) for the main ant tree. However it turns out that it points out more
problem areas in the main ant codebase (ie circular dependencies and very
very very scattered interactions and so forth) and since we can't change it -
it doesn't seem to be a good idea of reporting it everyday? Or maybe not -
what do you think? Should I commit it or not. It would also mean that we need
to include jdepend 2.1+ in CVS.
In myrmidon I actually integrated it into JUnit tests. So I make sure that;
* the org.apache.aut.* tree does not have any dependencies on the rest of the
codebase
* the launcher does not have references to any other ant class
* that the implementations of the container interfaces are not directly
referred to by anything other than those classes in same package
* there are no circular dependencies
In time I will also do things that make sure that the antlibs dont refer to
other antlibs and make sure that the efferent connections (ie what the
package depends upon) are within tolerable proportions, and whether the
"Distance from the Main Sequence" (or makeup of classes) is of an acceptable
value.
