[Biojava-dev] next steps

[Andreas Prlic]

Hi Scooter,

quick update: There is also an eclipse plugin for JDepend, that
provides a user interface to browse thought the dependencies.

As I already mentioned earlier, I had some quick progress with the
maven plugin to convert the project to maven and create a first pom.
At the moment I am testing how  best to create  sub-projects that
should contain the modules.  The plugin does not seem to make it easy
to create new modules, so I agree with your earlier suggestion that it
is best to modularize first and the mavenize 2nd... Should we create a
branch in svn and play around with refactoring there and once we are
happy with it we can switch that branch to become the trunk?

Andreas
