This project, called walkmod, is an open source tool to apply coding conventions. Walkmod can support with any programing language if a set of interfaces are implemented as a third party plugin. The first (and current) supported language is Java. So, walkmod is completely modularized and you can extend their features (like Maven), by plugins (see plugins ).
This respository contains the core library to load the configuration files and apply a chain of code transformations ( file by file ) and required to build plugins. Anyway, you can use this library to help us to create a Walkmod ecosystem where other development tools (i.e Eclipse, Maven) can execute walkmod in an embedded mode instead of forcing a manual installation.
The walkmod-cmd project is just the responsable to build the tool - a zip file which all walkmod libraries, the default configuration and the scripts to execute walkmod.
You just need the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.walkmod</groupId>
<artifactId>walkmod-core</artifactId>
<version>1.0.6</version>
</dependency>
The org.walkmod.WalkmodFacade can help you to invoke the walkmod commands by API.
