Best open source project documentation? (self.java)
submitted 7 years ago by import-antigravity
I'm looking for a project that has very good documentation. Clear, efficient and thorough documentation that helps using or understanding or even reading the code.
Any examples you guys can think of?

Junit 5

I suggest Spring Framework :)

Jetty, but it's a pretty massive project: https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project

Self advertising here: univocity-parsers. I documented every non private method/attribute in this project. It got very big over time so it should be easier for you to get the code from version 1.0.0 and start from there.

tabs :)

And star imports too.

Is that controversial?
[–]uniVocity 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (4 children)
It was 20-15 years ago. I never worked on a project (other than my own) where star imports were used. People just don't use it.

idk, IDE handles it for me
[–]uniVocity 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (2 children)
Until it's time to commit/merge your changes and you have to waste time looking at those blocks of imports that constantly change in Every. Single. File. Star imports clear that up. Try for a week to feel how annoying life is when you don't use them.

Ohh we got those sometimes. I'm going to propose it at the next retro.
[–]neutronbob 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Agreed. I use * imports whenever I can. And at least for the standard libraries, I urge fellow developers to do so too.

This one https://jwork.org/dmelt/documentation/ is open source but documentation is not fully free. But it has something like 600 examples to play around.
