Hi all, Love the idea. I recommended a similar idea to several of my higher-ups many moons ago and they scoffed.
I'm particularly intrigued by JXR. I worked on a xref/summarization tool last year and am quite interested in the capabilities of JXR. I'm just beginning to look at the code so please forgive my ignorance. Given that this tool must potentially xref many thousands (or millions) of files, I'm curious how you manage the symbol references without retaining it all in memory? This was one of the issues I faced while building my tool. I ended up creating what amounts to a symbol table of references represented with XML. Besides just being able to run the xref on different files at different times another benefit is that usage information is neatly contained in a single XML file per source file. Oh, and don't have to build the viewable xref'd html until requested at which point i'd merge the XML and the original source into html (never finished this). Also, it seems the parsing isn't being performed by a parser generated by a parser-generater (e.g. antlr or jtb/javacc). Any reason? Just curious. And, is there room/need for one more developer?
