[Joelib-devel] Updated softwaredesign libraries

[Joerg K. W. <we...@in...>]

Hi all,

Be courageous and help improving, if you have half-an-hour per week.

New release:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=39708&package_id=108845&release_id=265282

The bug in PMD for assigning 'unusedcode' warnings for arrays and 
matrices was fixed:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=479921&aid=1020199&group_id=56262

I've also introduced the metrics for a CVS version.

As you can see we have a lot to do, so please be courageous and help 
improving. Here are my comments to the single metrics. The technical 
descriptions are directly linked in the first row in the table.
basic              good to handle
braces             nothing to do, we use jalopy source code formatter
codesize           serious for users and new developers
                    also hard to fix, because you need to be an JOELib
                    expert
controversial      good to handle, some rule are controversial in my
                    opinion
coupling           good to handle
finalizers         good to handle
imports            good to handle
naming             good to handle with a good refactoring toolkit most
                    IDEs support, and a crazy amount of work
strictexception    good to handle
strings            serious for users and new developers
                    also hard to fix, strongly connected with code
                    complexity
unused             complex tasks and feature requests
                    shows also some open construction and porting tasks,
                    e.g. residue PDB import, rotamer generation, ...

Kind regards, Joerg
