XMLUnit 2.x Development Moved to GitHub XMLUnit provides help with testing code that creates or consumes XML. XMLUNit 2.x is available for both Java and .NET with a similar API. Development of this version has moved to a GitHub organization[1] with two git repositories for Java and .NET respectively. All discussion about XMLUnit independent of any version will happen on the XMLUnit general mailing list[2]. XMLUnit for Java 1.x is no longer maintained, please use the legacy artifacts of XMLUnit 2.x if you still need APIs compatible with XMLUnit 1.x. We keep using the Sourceforge infrastructure that has served as well for many years to host forums and mailing lists. XMLUnit for .NET 0.x is not maintained any longer.

JxMake is a Java-based cross-platform build system primarily inspired by the syntax and features of GNU Make, Perforce Jam, and CMake. Additionally, JxMake also supports several other features that are not included with other console-based build systems, such as a built-in simple GUI, serial console, serial plotter, etc. Currently, the JxMake loadable libraries (build scripts) are more focused on building for embedded systems. However, support for building desktop applications will also be improved in the future. Building JxMake requires Java SDK 8 or later (note that Java SDK 8 is an LTS version).

DiffStats analyzes diff files. It counts lines of code added, deleted and moved. It was designed for Java code, but will work with other languages, like C++. It ignores blank lines and comment line, if they start with a //, /* or *. This project was made to complete another project because I was unable to find anything else like it. I posted it to see if anyone else had interest. So I would appreciate it if anyone who has tried this project would please post a review. I understand this is a very simple project, but if there is interest, I would expand it.
