Annotation Sniffer

Annotation Sniffer is an Eclipse plugin to detect Annotation's Bad Smells.

What?

How?

Download Annotation Sniffer Java ARchive (JAR) file; place into dropins Eclipse’s directory and done!

Why?

Code metrics are important; Annotations are code; Code should be well written;

Hotspot: Metrics

• Change XML file to Read directory files;

• Only files with @IsAMetric annotation;

• Should keep original output;

Targets:

MetricsRepository injected as dependency into MetricsEvaluator Held old output interface

Load all metrics with annotation

Hotspot: Thresholds

• Remove Thresholds information from BadSmellDetector

class;

• Create a pluggable way to add new Thresholds data;

• Load thresholds on the fly (able to load other

Threshold’s data file)

• Keep old output interface.

Targets:

Old way

New way

XML file

Threshold Object Diagram

Hotspot: Bad Smell

• Change hard-coded to Read directory classes;

• Only class with @BadSmell annotation;

• Decouple a BadSmell from Threshold and Metric.
