Re: [Springframework-developer] Architecture of Spring

[Rob H. <ro...@in...>]

Indeed - we have Juergen! Previously he used JDepend to check for  
cycles and then would fix them. Now he uses a tool called SonarJ to  
do this.  In the coming weeks Juergen and I will be working to roll  
out SonarJ across the entire team to make sure everyone can keep our  
package cycle count as low as possible.

Regards,

Rob
