[Joelib-devel] Coding conventions

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

Hi all,

here a short summary of my developer environment and coding conventions. 
Nothing is fixed, so if you have better arguments, we switch to another 
convention.

Please have a look at the other sources to get a feeling for the 
conventions.

IDE:
Is eclipse, because it has excellent refactoring tools, code formatting.
http://www.eclipse.org/

Coding:
PMD, PMD, PMD: please use the PMD rules to check your sources. I've 
started really late to use this tool, but if anyone can measure software 
quality, then the guys from the PMD project. Its amazing how clever 
those rules are, and there is an eclipse plugin.
http://pmd.sourceforge.net/

Make-Tool:
Apache ANT, because its all in once: compiling, maintaining, documentation
http://ant.apache.org/

Documentation:
DocBook-XML based on Jade, so this is pretty complex, i know, so i've a 
working environment and its not necessary that every developer has a 
working environment. So, you are on your own if you want get this stuff 
to work, but of course you can ask me.

Kind regards, Joerg
