Class FileBuilder

java.lang.Object
  extended bynet.sf.statcvs.input.FileBuilder

public class FileBuilder
extends Object

Builds a CvsFile with CvsRevisions from logging data. This class is responsible for deciding if a file or revisions will be included in the report, for translating from CVS logfile data structures to the data structures in the net.sf.statcvs.model package, and for calculating the LOC history for the file.

A main goal of this class is to delay the creation of the CvsFile object until all revisions of the file have been collected from the log. We could simply create CvsFile and CvsRevisions on the fly as we parse through the log, but this creates a problem if we decide not to include the file after reading several revisions. The creation of a CvsFile or CvsRevision can cause many more objects to be created (Author, Directory, Commit), and it would be very hard to get rid of them if we don't want the file. This problem is solved by first collecting all information about one file in this class, and then, with all information present, deciding if we want to create the model instances or not.

public void addRevisionData(RevisionData data)
Adds a revision to the file. The revisions must be added in the same order as they appear in the CVS logfile, that is, most recent first.

Parameters:
data - the revision

createFile

public CvsFile createFile(Date beginOfLogDate)
Creates and returns a CvsFile representation of the file. null is returned if the file does not meet certain criteria, for example if its filename meets an exclude filter or if it was dead during the entire logging timespan.

Parameters:
beginOfLogDate - the date of the begin of the log
Returns:
a CvsFile representation of the file.
