Visualizing project depedencies [message #310542] Thu, 07 December 2006 07:40 Go to next message

Hello,

does anybody known a tool for visualizing project dependencies in Eclipse
(preferrably an Eclipse plugin)?

I know tools for visualizing package dependencies like Bark, but as far as
I known there is nothing for whole projects.

Background: Eclipse warns you if there are cycles in the classpath, but if
the cycle is a little bit more complex then "a to b", "b to c" and "c to
a" it might be very difficult to find the cycle. Therefor I am looking for
a support by a tool.

Thanks in advance,
Ole

Right-click your plugin project -> PDE Tools -> Open Dependencies might
be what you need.

The Plug-in Dependencies view has buttons to toggle between viewing what
plug-ins the selected plug-in depends on, and viewing which plug-ins
depend on the selected plug-in.

Hope this helps,

Matthew

Unfortunetely I have no plugin projects. Just pure java projects. Any
other guess?

I am currently writing such a plug-in to show:
- require-bundle
- import-package
- usage of extension points
in a graphically way.

I have not much time and I am new to draw2d/GEF.
You may want to compile the plug-in yourself or
join my SourceForge project.
It is currently only available in CVS:
http://pdetools.cvs.sourceforge.net/pdetools/de.hackerdan.pd e.dependencies

The Metrics plugin (http://metrics.sourceforge.net/) might show things
at the project level, I can't remember for sure.

Hope this helps,
Eric
