             Summary: Code comment with issue number
                 Key: UIMA-6248
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-6248
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: ackelcn


When I read the code of uimaj, I find some comments with issue numbers. One of 
them comes from OperationalProperties_impl.java:
{code:java}
    // overridden to set proper defaults
    // https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2350
    // These change depending on the element which is the parent of the parent 
of this element
    String grandParentName = "";
    Node p = aElement.getParentNode();
    if (p instanceof Element) {
      Node gp = p.getParentNode();
      if (gp instanceof Element) {
        grandParentName = ((Element) gp).getTagName();
      }
    }
    setModifiesCas(grandParentName.equals("casConsumerDescription") ? false : 
true);{code}
These comments are quite useful for other programmers and me to understand the 
code, but I notice that not all issue numbers are written in code comments. It 
can be already quite tedious to write them into commit messages :)

 

To handle the problem, I implemented a tool to automatically instrument issue 
numbers into code comments. I tried my tool on activemq, and the instrumented 
version is [https://github.com/ackelcn/uimawithissuecomment] 

 

To avoid confusion, if there is already an issue number in code comments, my 
tool ignored the issue number. All my generated comments start from //IC, so it 
is easy to find them.

 

Would you please some feedbacks to my tool? Please feel free to merge my 
generated comments in your code, if you feel that some are useful.
