Totals grouped by language (dominant language first):
java: 243736 (99.57%)
jsp: 520 (0.21%)
ruby: 243 (0.10%)
sh: 146 (0.06%)
python: 135 (0.06%)
So, about a quarter of a million lines of code. Thats a lot of complexity (and hopefully power) hidden beneath the surface. Hopefully most people don't have to worry about this complexity (we try to keep the interfaces simple - try).
The thing about complexity is sometimes (just sometimes) it is necessary, and you can roll your own complexity, or use someone elses. Mostly I prefer someone elses.
For many years, sewing machines were a mystery to me. I never knew how they actually used the thread to connect stuff together. I also knew I didn't need to know (in fact, when suffering insomnia I would try and solve it in my mind). But I knew they worked, and I knew it was easier to use them then roll your own.
Well not entirely relevant, but I think its cool that someone made an animated GIF showing how they actually work:


javancss is also pretty handy and it's very easy to drop into a maven build:
ReplyDelete<reports>
<report>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</...>
<artifactId>javancss-maven-plugin</...>
</...>
</reports>
then just run "mvn site"
on multiprojects you tend to need to run it twice (at least with the old version) to get the aggregated report
