Metrics and Google Guice

I’m currently working on some code measurement software, as a plugin for Reposita. As a test object I use Google Guice. The measurement tool called Meaxure not only calculates metrics but checks licenses and checking Google Guice it has found 86 times the Apache 2 Licenese and one unknown license. Taking a deeper look reveals that crazy OutOfScopeException.java in Guice has no license at all ;-)

What was the point of this blog entry? So what if one class has no license? That’s not a metric.

This entry looks like spam to me. You are now blocked.

Dear annoyed,

obviously the number of files with no license is a metric, which might reveal a problem with the source or a problem with your QA. Not in the Guice case, but when you’re a company developing software.
