Figured out which methods were changed by validation?

Here's the deal - I want to find out which methods were touched or changed during the last milestone / iteration so that the Javadoc methods are checked for correct content, especially for public API methods.

Any ideas on how to do this, perhaps with an SVN hook?

there is no single command to achieve this, but you can combine some svn commands to achieve something like this:

  • svn diff last tag with your trunk: revision HEAD with --summarize option
  • svn annotate each file that you truncated in step 1 and parse the output to find the modified codes (their turnover is greater than tag-rev.)
  • mark related functions or output them to a report file (just remember the last function signature if you are parsing the file line by line)


class / methodname is trivial to get for regular Java classes, however if you use innerclasses it gets trickier, but then: do they have or need javadoc comments?

Idea at least: svn diff has the ability to pass arguments to the diff command. One such option is -p

also known as --show-c-function

. This will probably be related to solving this problem for C code. So the question is, is there an implementation of diff that knows Java syntax well enough to support a similar variation? I Googled but couldn't find anything.
