Folks,
Want to have Class Diags generated by Ant targets? Read on....
I'd be interested to know whether anyone has made an ant taskdef for Doxygen. For those that do not know Doxygen is, amongst other things, a generator of class diagrams from source (or is it classes?). This for many is one of the holy grails of project documentation. See links below for exaples that are online.
Doxygen itself is a an executable but there are versions compiled for Unix and Win32. It is also GPL, but given that it has a command line interface, we would not be in breach of GPL rules by launching it from within Apache Licensed taskdefs. The user of Ant would merely have to download Doxygen to enable its use in a suitably equiped Ant.
Does anyone know of a team that has written a taskdef and may make it available to Apache? Or of any reason why such an endeavour would be futile?
