Whitepaper
Posted by Floyd Marinescu on Jun 21, 2007 09:27 AM
Structuring a large code base maintained by multiple teams working in parallel can be a real challenge. If you are not disciplined about code structure overtime you will end up with a tangled, unmaintainable mess that cannot adapt to change and risks ossifying into legacy. In this session Juergen will pull from his experiences working on large projects (including his role as chief architect of the Spring Framework) to provide general guidelines on:- The evolution of a large code base is a tricky challenge...in particular if backwards compatibility is an issue and architectural quality remains a goal!Much of the presentation was spent explaining how to minimize dependencies between modules (especially cyclic dependencies) and how Juergen manages Spring's codebase to tight standards of quality. Juergen also demonstrates how he uses JDepend and SonarJ on Spring's codebase, and near the end for fun does a package dependency comparison between Spring and Hibernate.
- Central issue: package interdependencies
- Avoid circular references between packages, at (nearly) any cost!
- Consider the use of tools for ongoing validation of your architecture
- e.g. JDepend, SonarJ

Hi.
Had a quick surf and could not seem to find the slides to download.
Anyone know if they are available anywhere?
Cheers
Oliver
I would like to add a request for the link to the slides?
Thanks!
Angie
I'd like to download the slides. Is it possible? Thanks.
Regards,
Lam
I would like to get the slides. Is it possible?
I think that Juergen should publish his slides on SpringOne site soon or later.
I mean, SpringOne speakers, Interface21 guys in particular, use to do so.
My two cents.
Andrea "Italian Spring lover :-)"
Mike blogged a great summary of this presentation here.
Slide are now available from SpringOne site wiki.
Login is required.
Cheers
In the .NET sphere we are also facing the same kind of problem. I wrote and article about that, that describes similar answers:
