**NOTE: We moved to the master branch all the content of the development branch that we were using to design and code the next major version of the project. If you want to contribute with version 6.x please look at the 6.x branch.**

- There's an
.editorconfigwhat has definition for indents, file encoding, line endings. - If you disable it, you need to set the file encoding and number of spaces correctly manually.

Why do you not accept
@authorlines in your source code?-
Because the author tags in the java files are a maintenance nightmare
- A large percentage is wrong, incomplete or inaccurate.
- Most of the time, it only contains the original author. Many files are completely refactored/expanded by other authors.
- Git is accurate, that is the canonical source to find the correct author.
-
Because the author tags promote code ownership, which is bad in the long run.
- If people work on a piece they perceive as being owned by someone else, they tend to:
- only fix what they are assigned to fix, instead of everything that's broken
- discard responsibility if that code doesn't work properly
- be scared of stepping on the feet of the owner.
- If people work on a piece they perceive as being owned by someone else, they tend to:
-
Credit to the authors is given:
- with Open Hub which also has statistics
- in the GitHub web interface.

To format files with the required license:
mvn license:formatTo check if your code style respect all the rules:
mvn checkstyle:check -DskipCheckstyle=falseTo generate the maven site:
mvn clean site site:stagethe site will be generated at: target/staging/index.html
