IDE based Open source Project Evaluation

This is a project I would complete Iinsha Allah sometime in the future. The idea is to collect different information about a project related to quality with the help of the following tools.

• PMD API to detect different violations and their severity
• Ohloh, sourceforge and others reliable rating which can be accessed through APIs
• Subjective evaluation of StackOverflow [This can be simply another research or user behavior model of Q and A] site.

However, the idea is to exploit the existing tools and techniques to produce some useful information about the projects and IDE-based visualization will be the key.

That is the thought for now.
