Hello,
In order to inspect what components are loaded by OFBiz and
understand/debug their dependency relationship, it would be convenient
to have a visual graph representation. I have opened OFBIZ-11315 [1]
which adds a new “--graph” option which outputs a 'ofbiz.dot' file
containing a textual representation of the components graph in the DOT
format [2]. This file is meant to be processed by the Graphviz tool to
get a png image:
cat ofbiz.dot | dot -T png -o ofbiz.png
Currently there is nothing very interesting to output in the graph
because there is no “depends-on” relationship defined in the
framework/applications components. To see some edges representing the
dependency relation it is possible to re-apply commit
eeabe69813a1d9f42911dec70a912574046ef49b
Possible future steps could be to add some colors or to include other
information like webapps, containers, ... in the graph.
What do people think?
