Blogg-X is a cross platform (OS X, Windows XP, Linux) content management tool for websites based on the Joomla!

Refactoring is a  technique for restructuring an existing code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior. Its heart is a series of small behavior preserving transformations. Each transformation (called a 'refactoring') does little, but a sequence of transformations can produce a significant restructuring. Since each refactoring is small, it's less likely to go wrong. The system is also kept fully working after each small refactoring, reducing the chances that a system can get seriously broken during the restructuring

And I want to show here some results achieved, The author has done a great job, and I have tried to bring my Java expertise to help him bring new functionnalities faster. Moreover a JAVA break just for fun (but hehe  I already do Java at work :-) ) was needed after being so frustrated with PHP...

But let me be a little more technical, below are some numbers create with a tool of IBM: Structural Analysis for Java:
