I just put the following announcement out on the Tulsa Java Users Group 
website at

Members of the OKC JUG should also find this to be a useful announcement.

After our awesome presentation (Golden Rules for Managing your 
Architecture) by Alexander von Zeitzewitz on January 5th, members of the 
Tulsa Java Users Group will find the following announcement (Free SonarJ 
Community Edition) to be very interesting!!!

Hello2morrow Launches Free Community Edition of SonarJ

To support the Java community in a difficult economic environment 
hello2morrow decided to create a free Community Edition of SonarJ. The 
Community Edition is the full product limited to 500 internal classes 
(approx. 50 to 60 KLOC), which should already cover the majority of all 
projects.

The company hopes, that many developers will make use of the free 
offering. Active architecture management can save between 30 and 50% of 
the total development and maintenance cost of a typical project. Clear 
and cycle free dependency structures not only improve testability, but 
also readability and reusability of code. The earlier you integrate 
architecture management in your development process the higher are the 
potential savings. Following five or six simple architectural and 
quality related rules will make your project better than 95% of all 
projects with comparable size and complexity.

Bigger projects still need a commercial license. But the new pricing 
model makes using SonarJ more affordable. You can start for free and 
then upgrade your license later when you already got some value provided 
by the tool. You basically can pay your hen with the eggs.

SonarJ is an architecture management tool for Java. Software architects 
use SonarJ to define architecture and quality rules, which will then be 
monitored in the IDE (Eclipse) on the developer’s workplace. By using 
the IDE plugin developers can detect and fix architecture violations in 
the moment they are created. In April 2007 SonarJ won the second prize 
of the Jax Innovation Award. The developers of the Spring Framework are 
using SonarJ to keep the technical quality of Spring on the high level 
expected by their global use base.

To obtain a free community license you must be registered on our website 
Hello2morrow <http://www.hello2morrow.com>. As soon as you are an 
approved user you can download the tool and request your free license key.
