RE: [Icplus-users] iContract and iContractPlus status

[<asl...@ne...>]

Hi folks,

I wrote the icPlus tools.

Reto Kramer seems to have left the iContract boat. I saw his name on a Sun
JSR somewhere some time ago, and IIRC he works for them doing something else
(I might be wrong on this).

I won't continue any work on icPlus, but I would be happy to hand over
ownership of the SF project to anybody interested.

I suggest you take a look at
http://www.parasoft.com/jsp/products/home.jsp?product=Jcontract
I haven't tried it myself, but Parasoft is known for making good stuff.

What would be awesome would be if someone with an open source mind would sit
down and write a new DBC tool for java.
XDoclet combined with BCEL could be a way to achieve it:

Write an XDoclet (http://xdoclet.sf.net/) module that reads the assertion
tags and stores them in a database (some file format). Then inject assertion
checking code (reading info from the database) in the compiled classes with
BCEL (http://jakarta.apache.org/bcel) as a post-compile step.

What do you think? Anyone up for this?

Cheers,
Aslak
