gt-swing nominated to graduate to supported module

[Jody Garnett-2]

Ready to graduate to extension, there are a series of code examples on  
the website making use of the public api:
- http://geotools.org/quickstart.html
- http://geotools.org/examples/index.html

And some reference pages in the wiki:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Swing

The code coverage is poor as is expected for a series of user  
interface widgets; hopefully the docs make up for it in this case.

 From my standpoint the plugin is minimal, this is the main reason I  
am recommending it for graduation at this time.

Ciao Jody,
I checked the module quickly and I think it makes a nice addition as a
geotools extension, therefore I am +1 on this.

Simone.

The code coverage is non existent actually, it's just 4%.
There are ways to test a GUI for its basic, like
http://www.uispec4j.org/, thought this site contains a wider list:
http://java-source.net/open-source/testing-tools

I absolutely agree that unit testing a GUI cannot be as deep as
unit testing a library class, it ends up being more "smoke testing"
to prevent major issues in the UI.

The ogc EMF models are another example of untested module, thought
in that case there is very little to test since the code is fully
machine generated and has no logic whatsoever.

We can discuss this and come up with different rules for different
modules, but I have to say no testing at all makes me quite worried.

Cheers
Andrea

PS: btw, a minor point: this discussion should take place on the devel list

There are a few classes that have some logic and can get tested; but  
mostly these components are an excuse to exercise GeoTools codebase.

I really wish we could run the example code as a test case in order to  
check coverage - that would be a metric I would believe in here.

Yeah I screwed up and sent it to the wrong list; I have sent it again  
to geotools devel.
