An important part of any software team is project management. Effective management of a software project requires an understanding of the evolving codebase. In order to gain this understanding many firms create in-house utilities to collect customized metrics on the source code.

A major step in the development of a source code analysis utility is creation of a language parser. However, firms moving at the speed of the internet often find themselves with insufficient time or resources to create proper parsers, or to keep up with the ever changing language specifications. Firms often need to manage with simple scripts to count the number of semi-colons, etc.

The jfront rawjava™ parsing library implements the latest version of the Java Language Model. Developers use the parser by compiling it into their own application -- for example jfront rawjava™ is ideal for use in a source code analysis utility.

The jfront rawjava™ package contains a set of sample applications demonstrating several ways to integrate the library with user code. These samples, coupled with complete documentation allow even developers with little or no C++ experience to be productive in little or no time.

Metrics collection is one application for jfront rawjava™, but it is useful for much more. The parser has been written from the latest version of The Java Language Model which makes it ideal for any application that requires an understanding of Java source code. For example, this parsing library could be used as the front end of a fully functional Java compiler.

Additionally, we are in the process of constructing a list of helpful utilities made possible by jfront rawjava™. Click here to see the list.

The complete jfront rawjava™ package is available right here for just US$88.00.
