Re: [Joda-interest] RE: joda API suggestion

[Stephen C. <sco...@jo...>]

Thanks for volunteering, could you send your sourceforge id so I can let you
commit?

I have just refactored the whole testing tree in CVS. I have tried to break
out the older tests from the newer ones (older under org.joda.test.time,
newer under org.joda.time).

I have also run clover (coverage tester) a few times, and got the partial
package up to over 99% ;-) Unfortunately the overall figure is still around
26%. My aim is an overall number over 80% before 1.0.


It might be easiest if I suggested you looked at a whole package for
testing, the convert package would be a good one as it is fairly small,
stable, simple and isolated in what it has to do. (The convert package
converts an object of arbitrary type to long/chronology suitable for Joda).
I'll check in a shell class to start from.

If this doesn't grab you, then your suggestion of a user guide would also be
most welcome! The xdoc format we use is checked into CVS.

Stephen
