New in JArchitect 5.0.0.4687 (Nov 3, 2015)

  • MAJOR FEATURES:
  • Advanced Integration with External Tools:
  • JArchitect embeds now out of the box the following analysis tools: PMD,CheckStyle and FindBugs.
  • Rules Enhancement:
  • With JArchitect v5, Rule Files can be created and shared amongst NDepend projects. This is useful to define company-level standard rules sets, and get them applied by all teams.
  • Integration with SonarQube JArchitect provides now the SonarQube plugin. Here are the features provided:
  • Both JArchitect default and custom code rules can be monitored by SonarQube.
  • Visualization of the JArchitect issues locations in source code from within the SonarQube UI.
  • Two widgets are provided:
  • Class Metrics:JArchitect calculate many interesting class metrics related to their design and implementation, some of these metrics could be discovered by this widget.
  • CQLinq queries widget:CQLinq is a powerful feature to create easily coding rules. To explore the results of the CQLinq queries.
  • UI Enhancements:
  • The Metric View can now display a second metric by coloring the treemap elements. Hence two code metrics can be displayed at once.
  • In Rules and Queries result, percentage Code Coverage values are now displayed with a proprotional green/red color scheme.
  • The JArchitect UI now scales properly whatever the DPI settings, 100%, 125%, 150%, 200% and 250%.
  • Shaded animation when transitionning from one dependency graph to another, doesn't flicker anymore!
  • In query/rule result windows, when showing a sub-result in a native window, the native window height is now well sized.
  • When saving a query or a rule edited, the overall edition status is preserved (this includes the scroll bars position, the cursor position and the selection length). When pinning a description, the info panel background color is set to grey.

New in JArchitect 4.0.0.8041 (Jul 1, 2015)

  • MAJOR FEATURES:
  • New Dashboard Panel: JArchitect v4.0 proposes a new Dashboard that shows at a glance the state of your code base.
  • Trend Monitoring: JArchitect v4.0 can monitor trend metrics and shows trend charts. Default trend metrics and trend charts are proposed and custom ones can be created.

  • Focusing on Recent Rules Violations: JArchitect v4.0 proposes the option to filter only rules violations that occur on code elements added or refactored since a baseline.
  • Redesigned report. The report now includes trend metrics charts. The design has been rethought and more information is shown, especially concerning diff.
  • UI ENHANCEMENTS:
  • Main menus organization relifted both in VisualJArchitect.
  • When showing a dependency graph too complex to be browsed, a note is shown that explain that it is recommended to export the graph to the dependency matrix, better suited to browse large structure.
  • In forms dedicated to choose assemblies set to analyze, the capability to filter assemblies by name has been added and ergonomy has been enhanced.
  • In Matrix/Graph/Metric view, the Context Sensitive Help is not located anymore in the way that it could overlap the element currently hovered.
