opensource community collaboration at it's best
Today I had a great experience with contributing to an opensource project redline (Redline is a pure Java library for manipulating RPM Package Manager packages). Actually it was last week and today I had this pleasure.

Last week I fixed some lines in code and pulled a merge request. The same day, just 2 hours later, it was merged.

Today I asked for a release to benefit from these changes without publishing an separate inhouse version. I offered some additional refactorings to justify a release, however Craig W. Blake did not discussed or requested some more changes. An new release is already online.

I really appreciate that kind of cooperation. That's why I love opensource and my company Immobilienscout24 is sharing and contributing to the opensource world.

See our projects at github.com/ImmobilienScout24. Feel free to use it, to contribute or just report bugs!

easily exploring Java AbstractSyntaxTree
If you ever need to deal with the AST in java here I'd like to this small tool I've found some time ago.

start it with 

java  -cp checkstyle-5.6-all.jar com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.gui.Main PomSourceImporter.java
