[Xradar-developer] XRadar works with JDK5 ! ! !

[Pelisse R. <be...@gm...>]

Hi everyone !

I finally did it ! I commited the last changes to XRadar to make it works
with JDK5 ! I've tested it on my linux with the testproject, but please with
you have the time do some more testing (especially on windows boxes) !

Here are the too remaining bugs we should ( i think ) correct before
releasing the XRadar 1.0:

   - Even if  test.suite.analysis=true the test classes are not included
   in the analysis

After that, i propose to work on 1.1 release which will includes the
following features:

   - JDK5 as default ( allowing upgrade to PMD-4.0 and maybe other
   tools), this will kill the possibility to run XRadar with JDK4 but i don't
   think it's a real problem.
   - Upgrade to the more recent possible version of the tools XRadar
   uses.
   - Removing all jar in libs, and using mvn2 to deal with dependancy.
   - Taking care of the remaining known bugs such as : "Dynamics doesnt
   work when you change a subsystem name: - the subsystem_quality_report-file
   should be named after the subsystem id and not the subsystem name:
   \docs\xml\reports\subsystem_quality_report_[subsystem-name].xml"

Once, the 1.1 is released, i'll think we'll be able to prepare a 2.0 release
which will include the "xradar java access" which will allowed to use XRadar
as a simple java program, and which allow a very simple mvn2 integration...

Are you ok with this quick roadmap ? What do you think about it ?
