Hi all, I am a PhD student at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. As part of my research I have performed an empirical study on a large corpus of open-source Java software. Several of the applications in the corpus (Ant, Tomcat, JMeter, POI) are from the Apache Software Foundation. If you are a developer of Ant you might be interested to know that there are 117 source files all involved in a big dependency cycle (Strongly connected component). Other applications like Azureus, Soot and ArgoUML have strongly connected components involving ~1000 classes. In any case, a comparison of Ant to all the other applications in the corpus is available on my webpage:
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~hayden/corpus.htm The page also contains a graph that shows the evolution of dependencies through around 10 versions of Ant, starting at Ant-1.1. / Hayden Melton --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
