I jumped a total of 34 days after the last update. During this period I a. bought a new laptop, b. went to Vancouver for a wedding and spent an weekend there. c. farewell-ed my summer roommate d. spent around a week soul-searching of what I'm supposed to do.
Today I finally unpacked the ConcernExtractor... however, just as any kind of software update, CE no longers works on Eclipse 3.4. However, the plugin did load now :) so the rest is just code defect.
Finally, spending the night on CE also makes me rethink how I need to write my final section - how does CE help to locate and refactor the crosscutting clusters. I realized that I don't need to try very hard into making sense of the data. I only need to show that:
1. CE lets us visualize the location of the clusters
2. CE can simplifies the pointcut expression needed.
But now I am having a stomachache so I will stop and resume tomorrow morning perhaps?
