[Insight-developers] Fwd: [Insight-users] Java wrappings package organization

[A Navaei]

Hi,

ITK java wrapper package names are automatically generated based on
the ITK libraries. The java wrapper is the first (and probably the
only) ITK wrapper which actually breaks the big wrapper library into
different packages. Before that modern editors, such as eclipse, had a
very hard time to generate a list of over 1000 classes when performing
auto-completion.

The feature you are asking for will require some manual organisation
to find out which classes are for the end user, and which ones are for
core or helpers. This would be a tedious and laborious job requiring
an active maintainer and it wouldn't worth the effort simply for the
java wrapper.

One solution would be having the ITK source maintainers to use some
doxygen tags in  the source files to group the class as 'end-user',
'helper', 'core' or similar, based on which we can automatically
generate more wrapper sub packages. The other benefit of this approach
is that other wrapping languages, such as python, can also use this
feature for better package organisation.

Ali has done the work to split java classes in several packages.

Ali, maybe you can help on that point?


Thanks,
