Tell HN: Java @debt annotation to track technical debt
Myself and a colleague have created a Java @Debt annotation to track and measure occurrences of technical debt in code. For example stuff that needs refactoring, tidying up, removing etc.
The annotation allows you to count the number of times you encounter it, and allows you to set a threshold, which if exceeded at compile time fails the build.
You can download and use at from the following url: http://kenai.com/projects/csdutilities/pages/Debt
Feedback of all kinds appreciated!
