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?
