| <h2><a NAME="JDepend"></a>JDepend</h2> |
| |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| |
| <P>Invokes the <a href="http://www.clarkware.com/software/JDepend.html">JDepend</a> parser.</P> |
| |
| <P>This parser "traverses a set of Java source file directories and generates design quality metrics for each Java package". |
| It allows to "automatically measure the quality of a design in terms of its extensibility, reusability, and maintainability to |
| effectively manage and control package dependencies."</P> |
| |
| <p>Source file directories are defined by nested |
| <code><sourcespath></code>; Class file directories are defined |
| by nested <code><classesespath></code>, see <a |
| href="#nested">nested elements</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>Optionally, you can also set the <code>outputfile</code> name where the output is stored. By default the task writes its report to the standard output.</P> |
| |
| <p> The task requires at least the JDepend 1.2 version. </p> |

| <h3><a name="nested">Nested Elements</a></h3> |
| |
| <p><code>jdepend</code> supports four nested elements: |
| <code><classpath>, <classespath> </code> and |
| <code><sourcespath></code>, that represent <a |
| href="../using.html#path">PATH like structures</a>, and |
| <code><exclude></code>.</p> |
| |
| <p><code><sourcespath></code> is used to define the paths of the |
| source code to analyze, but it is deprecated. With version 2.5 of |
| JDepend, only class files are analyzed. The nested element |
| <classespath> replaces <sourcespath> and is used to define |
| the paths of compiled class code to analyze; the <sourcespath> |
| variable is still available in case you are using an earlier version |
| of JDepend. The <exclude> element can be used to set packages |
| to ignore (requires JDepend 2.5 or above).</p> |
| |
| <h3>Examples</h3> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <pre> |
| <jdepend classpathref="base.path"> |
| <classespath> |
| <pathelement location="build"/> |
| </classespath> |
| </jdepend> |
| |
| </pre> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p>This invokes JDepend on the <code>build</code> directory, writing |
| the output on the standard output. The classpath is defined using a |
| classpath reference.</p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <pre> |
| <jdepend outputfile="docs/jdepend.xml" fork="yes" format="xml"> |
| <sourcespath> |
| <pathelement location="src"/> |
| </sourcespath> |
| <classpath> |
| <pathelement location="classes"/> |
| <pathelement location="lib/jdepend.jar"/> |
| </classpath> |
| </jdepend> |
| </pre> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p>This invokes JDepend in a separate VM on the <code>src</code> and |
| <code>testsrc</code> directories, writing the output to the |
| <code><docs/jdepend.xml></code> file in xml format. The |
| classpath is defined using nested elements. </p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <pre> |
| <jdepend classpathref="base.path"> |
| <exclude name="java.*> |
| <exclude name="javax.*> |
| <classespath> |
| <pathelement location="build"/> |
| </classespath> |
| </jdepend> |
| </pre> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p>This invokes JDepend with the build directory as the base for class |
| files to analyze, and will ignore all classes in the java.* and |
| javax.* packages.</p> |
