Methods ordering investigation

During exploring of method orderings and relationships we tried to reorganize some java sources. We created several criteries of preferred ordering of some related methods and formalized relative 'preference' of total method ordering as penalty function. To check applicability of this formalization we tried to reorganize some classes from Checkstyle project sources being guided only by value of penalty function. This attempts are documented in following papers:

• AnnotationLocationCheck
• Checker
• TranslationCheck

General ideas of optimization are described in "Distance optimization".
