Re: [Codenarc-developer] A M.Sc. thesis on CodeNarc (in progress) - any suggestions?

[Chris M. <chr...@ea...>]

Artur,

 

Thanks for your contributions and interest and help. As Hamlet indicated,
there are a bunch of existing feature requests for rules that are currently
impossible or impractical given the limitations of the AST stage and
contents, at least with Groovy 1.7. If Groovy 2.x does fill some of those
gaps, that would certainly be one worthwhile thing to explore. I think
upgrading the minimal requirement  for CodeNarc to Groovy 2.x would be
possible. I don't take that decision lightly, but CodeNarc is a tool rather
than a framework, and there is no requirement that application code run at
the same Groovy level that CodeNarc uses.

 

The stats collection angle is intriguing. It would have to be non-intrusive
and "opt-in", rather than on by default. It seems very ambitious, but if you
have ideas on how to implement that, it does sound cool. I was not planning
on putting out another release for at least a couple months, and probably
more (busy on other projects), but that could be negotiable.

 

We only moved to the Sonatype Maven repository with the 0.18 release back in
November 2012, so we only have download stats since December 2012. And note
that 0.18.1 came out in February.
