 Abstract

We look at the Maven eco-system and how popularity of packages and its methods change. We want to know if there are any trends that can help developers more efficiently use their time. To look at the popularity we do package analysis and method analysis. We find that there is no correlation between time and popularity on both the package and the method level. We do seem to find that developers are slow to adopt newer versions. We also found that library maintainers tend to re-release older versions, these versions often have low usage.
