Thanks for that info.

Maybe I am asking for too much here, but I would be very curious to 
know the

- #lines of code(NewJ Library),
- #assertions(NewJ Library),
- #unit tests and
- #lines of code(unit tests)
-#coverage of the unit tests
-#assertions not executed by any unit test
- over several versions?

So if you happen to be able to answer only some of this questions, this 
would be great.

Cheers,

Markus
