Hello,
I am trying to understand IText source code.
(Thanks to all developers for their efforts!).
Is this the right place and method to contribute some remarks?
a) dead code ; lines of code who seem to do nothing
source:
itext-src-1.1.tar.gz
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfPRow.java
method: public float calculateHeights()
{
...
...
//next line local variable 'table' is not used in this method.
// why asking for it?
PdfPTable table = cell.getTable();
...
}
b) names of variables too general to facilitate easy search
source:
itext-src-1.1.tar.gz
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter.java
....
//as this source contains 'pdf' many times, it is hard to search
// for this member variable 'pdf' only
// why not give it a more difficult name like pdfdcmnt ?
protected PdfDocument pdf;
.....
c)
source:
itext-src-1.1.tar.gz
compile.xml
why not add property 'listfiles="yes"' to target 'compile.debug' ?
So one can check each time which files are recompiled.
Thanks and heartily greetings
Herman Vierendeels
