I'm all for tools which will make our life easier, so it would be
interesting to look into.

I recommend using JAutoDoc, an Eclipse plugin that facilitates doing
javadocs. 
http://jautodoc.sourceforge.net/ 

Although it isn't a silver bullet, it does ease doing javadocs, so for
us 'lazy' developers it's a godsend.

I can't wait 'till you see the unit tests. :)

Ravi, it's a relief to read your comments that should definitely
resonate with all Mifos developers. We feel your pain. In fact, I recall
a slide from a presentation on Mifos that put a metric on that pain.

And I couldn't agree more with Keith and Van's latest comments urging
clear intentions when writing identifier names, following patterns, etc.
Self-documenting and intention-revealing code is critical to:
* scaling our development effort (thank you Rob Short)
* having an agile and adaptable codebase
* having a maintainable codebase

Better code means better Mifos, means helping people out of poverty more
effectively!
