My first few cents:
- seems to be good
- doesnt handle <subant>
http://www.nurflugel.com/webstart/AntScriptVisualizer/help/html/html/what_exactly_is_ant_script_vis.html
- good idea of handling multiple buildfiles
- can it deal with dynamic imports?
<property name="import" value="default.xml" description="Override on command
line"/>
<import file="${import}"/>
- dealing with dynamic macros?
<target name="init.macros" depends="macro.1, macro.2"/>
<target name="macro.1" if="do.1">
<macrodef name="macro"> ...
<target name="macro.2" unless="do.1">
<macrodef name="macro"> <!-- same macro name -->
<target name="useit" depends="init.macros">
<macro/>
- Some words why no updates are needed: WebStart will check on each start.
http://www.nurflugel.com/webstart/AntScriptVisualizer/help/html/html/updates.html
- When reading the infos on the homepage, I havent found any license
Ok ... next step. I try starting that
http://www.nurflugel.com/webstart/AntScriptVisualizer/antscriptVisualizer.jnlp
- Warning of not signed application
- Good: whats new information
-- i am missing a window title
-- reverse order would be better (newest on top)
-- close botton should be outside the textarea so you dont have to scroll for
clicking
- Options dialog is missing a title
-- PDF on OsX only?
- I try check.xml from Ant's codebase.
- Default settings: include imported, group nodes, concentrate lines, delete
.dot, show macros, show
taskdefs, show ant+antcall, show targets, png,
- Result: just a note on the buttom: "Operations completed. Check your
directory for graphic files."
What is my directory? I'll have a look at check.xml's directory. Ok - a
"hidden" file (as *.dot are
associated with MSWord templates ;) - check.dot. But no PNG.
- "Find Dot" Button. Another frame without title. The path shown is too long
for the small text field.
The text field could have the width of the frame. Cancel.
- Error message: Cant run without Graphiz ...
Ok. When do you try to run this application? Why the ScriptDependency
Visualizer quits after that message?
Restart ...
- "Help" seems to print parts of the homepage as JavaDoc. Just "Help" as title
is not good IMO. You should always include
the application name.
Ok, I had "problems" with DOT before. I'll retry the application for further
information, because there is no "requirements" section in the help.
Another time: "Operations completed" but only the .dot was created. (Having a
look into that file it seems to be ok for a user usually not reading these
files.)
You shouldnt print "completed" if there are steps missing: the creation the the
PNG failed because of missing DOT-application!
When seeing the main window you dont know when the creation will be done (it's
directly done after selecting the buildfile).
There are some options deactivated
- Filter from node ...
- Filter through node ...
- Node ordering (Right-to-left + Left+to-right)
