samedi juillet 02, 2005 Project Jackpot and Software Archeology
Eric Amstrong has posted on Artima an entry on Tom Ball's J1 talk on Jackpot Project aka Refactoring on Steroids (another baby of James Gosling). Jackpot isn't new but finaly, this SunLabs research will land somewhere! As Tom said, Jackpot is being integrated in NetBeans, and should be made available in the coming month. That's a really good news. In short, Jackpot gives the ability to deeply dig in existing code bases (software archeology) to find errors, bad patterns, etc. Jackpot can also do safe custom code refactoring by using its own pattern matching language. The nice thing about about Jackpot is its speed. By heavily relying on javac itself Jackpot is really fast. And last, Jackpot can also be used for more advanced things like software reegineering (ex. migrating APIs).
