Not that I know of unless macroifying things above the usual which considering the number of classes attributes seems to not be worth it and be just as painful to do it manually...we would have 2000 classes, I would revise my position for that technique though :)
Mmm, I'm not a big fan of doing things manually. Ivy has about 270 classes, I don't know the number of attributes, but I think we should better spend time on adding javadoc than renaming the fields. So for the moment I suggest we keep this code convention (which seems to be pretty well accepted among committers). That's really something that can be done incrementally as well... Rome
was not built in a day.
Agreed, but do we really prefer to have half the code in one convention and the other half in another one. I don't want to overestimate our dedication to the open source, and I'm not sure we'll have enough energy and motivation to review all classes, even incrementally - especially since I don't think it's too much an issue to use the _ prefix. Doing this kind of thing is painful, and we should keep in mind that we do all of this on a voluntary basis :-) Xavier -- stephane
