For certain features, Jalopy needs to know about the available types in a project. Jalopy stores such information in a simple database, called the type repository. Unlike all other functionality which works only on the source code level, the type repository inspects the binary files of a project and extracts the needed information. Therefore it is a necessity that the repository is correctly set up in order to be able to process all needed files.
The type repository is currently only necessary for the Ant, Console and Maven Plug-ins and used for features that require type resolution like the import optimization.
Since 1.0.2
To query the type repository for a specific type or package name, enter the information in the text field and press the button. This is mostly useful only during developing of the application and might never be used by end users.
You can either search for a single type name (e.g. "String"), a qualified type name (e.g. "java.lang.String") or a package name (e.g. "java.lang").
