loan-shark

Debt comes at a price.

installation

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.jnape.loan-shark</groupId>
    <artifactId>loan-shark</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

usage

You can provide the date this Todo was created (currently in the format mm/dd/yyyy), an author, and a description:

@Todo(created="9/22/2013", author="John Napier", description="MOAR ENCAPSULATION WTF")
public class Debtor {
    public String firstName;
    public String lastName;
}

...but only created is required:

@Todo(created="9/22/2013")
public class Debtor {
    public String firstName;
    public String lastName;
}

Then, specify how long @Todos can live in your codebase by specifying the -Aloanshark.max.life.in.days compiler argument:

javac Debtor.java -Aloanshark.max.life.in.days=45

...or, if you don't specify loanshark.max.life.in.days, a default value of 30 will be used.

running

Loan Shark uses an Annotation Processor (JSR 209) to plug in to javac, so simpy running javac (whether by hand, or using Maven/Ant/Gradle) should automatically invoke the Annotation Processors. In case it doesn't, check the command line arguments passed to the Java compiler and ensure you aren't passing -proc:none.
