About

Assert Your Architecture! with this open source java library. Architecture Rules leverages an xml configuration file and optional programmatic configuration to assert your code's architecture via unit tests or ant tasks. This test is able to assert that specific packages do not depend on others and is able to check for and report on cyclic dependencies among your project's packages and classes. This project wraps a industry accepted JDepend to simplify the process of maintaining a solid software architecture.

We’re not yet in the Maven public repositories, but we have convinced our Google hosted SVN repository to serve up the packages for us.

Stable


<dependency>
  <groupId>com.seventytwomiles</groupId>
  <artifactId>architecture-rules</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Development


<dependency>
  <groupId>com.seventytwomiles</groupId>
  <artifactId>architecture-rules</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>

You’ll also need to declare our repository until we can get into the public Maven repositories. Join the user mailing list and we will let you as soon as we get to the public repos.

If you assert your architecture, then let everyone know with this branded gear.
