Human Resource Analysis Based on Used Libraries in Eclipse Projects on GitHub

Abstract

As current software development increasingly relies on libraries and frameworks, the knowledge and experience to use libraries is considered an important skill in software development. This paper attempts to analyze and identify the types of skills of contributors in five Eclipse projects, focusing on the libraries used by the contributors. We found that standard util libraries and I/O libraries are used in all projects, while specific libraries such as maven libraries and servlet libraries are used in one of the projects. Also, in library category analysis, we found that two projects require the security specialist that can use security libraries. Finally, in library provider analysis, we found that Oracle and JUnit libraries are used in all projects, which indicates that developers are recommended to learn these libraries.
