[Opensource] [ANNOUNCE] RefactorIT for Expresso Developers

[Michael Rimov]

I'm pleased to announce that the Expresso project has been added to 
RefactorIT's open source license.

RefactorIT is a software source code engineering tool with plugins for the 
JBuilder, JDeveloper, Forte and Netbeans environment.  It supports several 
automatic refactorings as described in Martin Fowler's book "Refactoring, 
Improving The Design Of Existing Code".  Other features include generating 
source code metrics, and providing static analysis of Java code.

Normally RefactorIT costs approximately $200 per developer, but in a 
special agreement reached between the Expresso Development team and 
RefactorIT, developers using the tool on Expresso source code can now use 
RefactorIT for that purpose for free!

This is part of the "Open Source Community License", which RefactorIT 
provides for "developers of Open Source projects which have an established, 
vital, and active community."

The Open Source community license now provides for refactoring on all 
classes in the com.jcorporate.expresso.* hierarchy.  Plus it allows 
developers to even work with up to 50 classes outside the Expresso hierachy.

Congratulations are in order to the Expresso developers who have helped 
this project to sit side by side with famous projects such as Apache, 
Mozilla, Antlr and JUnit;  and a special thanks goes to the RefactorIT team 
for supporting opensource communities such as Expresso.
