---------------------------------------------
Summary: Detecting Access Modifier and scopes
Key: MANIMALSNIFFER-25
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANIMALSNIFFER-25
Project: Mojo Animal Sniffer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ANT Tasks, Maven Plugin
Affects Versions: 1.8
Reporter: Eduard Ostertag
Assignee: Stephen Connolly
Animal Sniffer creates a signature File with all methods and fields of a class,
but without Access modifiers and scopes, like private, protected public,
package, static ....
My question, why is this so?
It is better to have the modifiers and scopes in a Signatur file, with this
modifiers we can detect API changes.
example:
If i create a Signature of a TestClass and check this signature against
MainClass with animalSniffer
public class TestClass{
public static String test = "test";
}
public class MainClass
{
public static void main(String s[])
{
String testCheck = TestClass.test; //Is ok
}
}
and then i change public to private and create a new signature of the TestClass
and check this new TestClass with animalSniffer against MainClass without to
compile MainClass only TestClass was compiled
public class TestClass{
private String test = "test"
}
public class MainClass
{
public static void main(String s[])
{
String testCheck = TestClass.test; //is not OK, because now it´s private.
}
}
Animal sniffer can't detect this changes.
This problem you can have, if you create an assembly build, without to compile
all modules.
