Code Organization
Structuring a large code base maintained by teams working in parallel can be a real challenge. If you are not disciplined about code structure overtime, you will end up with a tangled, unmaintainable mess that cannot adapt to change and risks ossifying into legacy. This session presents typical challenges in evolving large code bases, focusing on package interdependencies and module decomposition according to 'conceptual boundaries'. We will discuss lessons learned from the Spring project itself, and investigate the use of tools for validating architectural soundness.
