I was suggested to post this e-mail here. I have been a big fan of WindowBuilder and have been excited with it being recently open sourced.
With that being said, I have noticed that many developers have a hard time becoming contributors to open source projects as they may not clearly understand the main concepts and the architecture. I have been trying to make sure the we (at Architexa) can help here.
We have been working on a cool project - trying to help developers get started with the guts of WindowBuilder. We have created a simple site consisting of architectural documentation for main ideas of WindowBuilder. You can find them here: http://codemaps.org/s/WindowBuilder
We want to make this resource available to everyone, and have made it the underlying tooling free for projects like WindowBuilder. If you haven't heard about it - we build tooling to help get simple and useful diagrams from a codebase. There is a small video demo-ing it here: http://www.architexa.com/learn-more/videos/intro/video. You can find more information on our support for Open Source projects initiative here: http://www.architexa.com/start/open-source
We have gotten some positive feedback for the site, but I wanted to start rolling it out with WindowBuilder. I are really curious to hear what the WindowBuilder community thinks of CodeMaps.
Regards,
Vineet

Bernd,
Glad you liked. If you signup on the site, you will be notified when anyone puts up more content. We have been getting feedback over the last week and will be posting more in the next few days.
Also, if you install the Architexa client, you should be able to open the diagram within Eclipse and jump to the code directly. Our free Eclipse viewer is not ready yet, but if you send us an e-mail I will make sure to get you a free license while you are working on WindowBuilder.
Mark,
Thanks for the request. Sometime it is not easy to know what we should prioritize with regards to documenting. We will get something up on that - hopefully later today.
Looking forward to more feedback.
Regards,
-Vineet
