module depenencies tree of a suite

[Oliver Rettig]

Hallo,

my Netbeans Platform application is growing up and I want to restructure the
modules. What I need now is a tool to visualize the module dependencies of my
suite of modules (graphically or as html pages or what ever is available). I
think I am not the first who nees such a tool.

Has anybody seen such a tool/module?

best regards

Oliver Rettig

The problem is there is no graphics library that provides a simple
layout to do that. I have an homegrown implementation somewhere that
build the graph but since I have no nice layout, it doesn't actually
help that much.

Another options is to generate a .dot file and make the layout with
graphviz. It looks way better and it's quite simple to generate.

I think David Strupl has a blog-post about something like this, I
never published any code / blogged about this.

Let me know if you find some nice layout (maybe Visual Library has
added one in the latest release, I remember a message that said
something similar).
