Crap4J update

Posted by Jeff October 27, 2008

Alberto and Bob were kind enough to comment. Sounds like good news:

  • \”Recent developments might give us an opportunity to not only continue to support Crap4j, but to take it to the next level.\” - Alberto
  • \”I am the maintainer… I will be getting it updated to Ganymede shortly, and getting everything else back online.\” - Bob

Clover is a commercial product with similar functionality, but it looks like I\’ll wait for the new Crap4J version.

Whither Crap4J?

Posted by Jeff October 23, 2008

Crap4J is/was a great Eclipse plugin which computes code crappiness via JUnit coverage testing vs. cyclomatic complexity. In short: Tests Good, Complexity Bad.

I tended to use it for TDD as a lightweight coverage tool. You could simply run a test, and the gutter annotations show if the line was tested or not:
eclipse

Unfortunately, as of the Eclipse Ganymede release, Crap4j no longer finds the tests… and Agitar is defunct/acquired.

What’s a good Crap4J replacement?
