[jgrapht-users] graphbuilder classes?

[Joris K. <de...@gm...>]

Hi,

While browsing the source of jgrapht, I stumbled upon a series of classes
involving a GraphBuilder, dated 12-Jan-2015:
AbstractGraphBuilder.java
DirectedGraphBuilderBase.java
DirectedGraphBuilder.java
DirectedWeightedGraphBuilderBase.java
DirectedWeightedGraphBuilder.java
UndirectedGraphBuilderBase.java
UndirectedGraphBuilder.java
UndirectedWeightedGraphBuilderBase.java
UndirectedWeightedGraphBuilder.java

a. Is there a particular reason I cannot find these classes in the javadoc
linked from jgrapht's website: http://jgrapht.org/javadoc/. Could it be
that the javadoc hasn't been updated with the latest release of jgrapht?

b. Perhaps a bit of a sensitive point: I'm not entirely sure what these
classes add to jgrapht? The majority of methods in these builder classes
were already supported by the default graph classes, or through the Graphs
class. The only new method I can really see is: 'addEdgeChain(V first, V
second, V ... rest). I would recommend to add this method to the Graphs
class, and, unless there's a valid use for these builder classes, consider
to remove them from jgrapht.
