Project Summary : Factoids
Mature, well-established codebase
The first lines of source code were added to css4j in 2019. Projects with recent activity, and a code base more than five years old are likely solving vital problems and delivering consistent value, and may be organized to reward sustained effort by an engaged team of contributors.
Such a lengthy source control history in conjunction with recent activity may indicate that this code base and community are important enough to attract long-term commitment, and may also indicate a mature and relatively bug-free code base.
Note: The source code for css4j might actually be older than the source control history can reveal. Many new projects begin by incorporating a large amount of source code from existing, older projects. You might be able to tell whether this is the case by looking for a rapid rise in the amount of code early in the project's history.
Few source code comments
css4j is written mostly in Java.
Across all Java projects on Open Hub, 30% of all source code lines are comments.
For css4j, this figure is 14%.This lack of comments puts css4j among the lowest one-third of all Java projects on Open Hub.
A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.
Small development team
Over the past twelve months, 2 developers contributed new code to css4j, making this a relatively small project team.
Decreasing Y-O-Y development activity
Over the last twelve months, css4j has seen a substantial decrease in development activity. This could mean many things. It may be a warning sign that interest in this project is waning, or it may indicate a maturing code base that requires fewer fixes and changes. It is also possible that development on this project has moved to a new source control repository somewhere else.
Open Hub makes this determination by comparing the total number of commits made by all developers during the most recent twelve months with the same figure for the prior twelve months. The number of developers and total lines of code are not considered.
