Anybody looking for a quick patch to contribute?

Hi Richard,
I know you guys are busily opening up JavaFX, and I was wondering if there
has been any effort to clean up the code? Not trying to critique the code,
but some of the earlier code I saw wouldn't have passed minimal checkstyle
settings.

I recently had to delve into LineChart, and there were a number of missing
comments on public methods, unnecessary "inheritDocs" tags on overridden
methods, funky approaches to iterating through series data that only work
within the charts package (can't be used by anyone extending the class),
variables like "createSymbols" which are actually anonymous inner classes
rather than a simple property.

Also, do your automated builds run FindBugs or similar tools periodically?
 That might also help identify some problem spots before they escape out
into the wild.

Hmm.  Well, I guess I did end up critiquing the code.  When the code review
tools come on line it will be easier to give you guys direct feedback on
the classes, instead of heckling from the sidelines. :-)


Cheers,

Mark
