Re: [pde-dev] Plug-in Dependency Visualization Tool
|
It's cool.
I'd like to see setting up an osgi application in visual mode - using
your stuff Ian.
Like you start with org.eclipse.osgi at first and then drag'n'drop your
components (bundles core, ui, x, y, z) and voila :)
Double click on a bundle opens it's manifest and lets you put your java
code in. Double click on xyz.UI opens some visual gui editor where you
put all things on their forms and so on.
Something like building your own project's dashboard.
would that be difficult to implement, Ian? :)

As part of my time at the IBM Centre for Advanced Studies and my work
on Google Summer of Code, I have developed a Plug-in Dependency
Visualization tool as part of the PDE Incubator project. I was first
recruited by Wassim and I have been working closely with Chris
Aniszczyk (my SoC mentor). The project's website is at [1].

I have made an initial version available on an update site at
eclipse.org [2] (Thanks Chris!). It works with Eclipse 3.3 or greater
(I tested it on 3.4 M2 and it seems to work fine). I have also put
together a New and Noteworthy to highlight some of the features [3].

It is pretty easy to use. Simply load the view (Visualizations->Graph
Plug-in Dependencies), and right click on the canvas. Then select the
bundle whose dependencies you wish you see.
If anyone has thoughts, suggestions, ideas, please feel free to open a
bug report. There is already a good suggestion to show extension
point use.
Cheers,
Ian
