RE: [wtp-dev] API Scanning Tool Available

["Ed Burnette" <Ed.Burnette@xxxxxxx>]

The functionality appears to overlap 3.1M3/s "early detection of reference to internal classes" quite a bit, see:

http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/S-3.1M3-200411050810/eclipse-news-part1-M3.html

It would be nice for any additional functionality the scanner provides to be folded into these existing integrated checks.

 

Maintaning the component xml files looks painful. Why not keep the annotations for things like "clients shouldn't implement this interface" in the source code itself, either through special comments or later through J2SE5 annotations?
