Body:
- For windows there is a binary version including dot at
http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/ARCHIVE/graphviz-1.10.exe
---------------------------------------------------------------
- I have found it best to define specific goals in a module's
maven.xml like
<goal name="dotuml:generate:oag-kernel-mbeanserver">
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.packagelist" value="oag-kernel-mbeanserver.dotuml"/>
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.qualify" value="true"/>
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.all" value="false"/>
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.attributes" value="false"/>
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.operations" value="false"/>
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.visibility" value="false"/>
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.types" value="false"/>
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.hide"
value="Flag,Flags,Event,Exception,Listener,Thread,Version"/>
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.sourcepath" value="src/java"/>
<j:set var="maven.dotuml.dotout" value="oag-kernel-mbeanserver.dot"/>
<attainGoal name="maven-dotuml-plugin:report"/>
</goal>
thereby explicitly giving a list of source files to include,
specifying them in the file referred by "maven.dotuml.packagelist".
Normal javadoc processing just produces one document collection,
whereas in this case several different runs should be desirable.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Searching for alternatives to graphviz, I have come across GXL,
http://www.gupro.de/GXL/
which is very general, but at the same time deeply UML-related.
This may be a good alternative to the .dot output format in UmlGraph.
In this context, even a way out of the generate/visualize dilemma
may be found:
1) Generate a large (unviewable) UML graph in GXL notation
2) Use GraphLayout code from http://touchgraph.sourceforge.net/
(supports GXL) to interactzively fix several "viewable" views on
these UML data.

Summary: UmlGraph Plugin, creates Class Diagram from Javadoc Tags
Type: New Feature
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Major
Time Spent: Unknown
Remaining: Unknown
Project: maven
Fix Fors:

Reporter: Ralph Apel

Environment: any
Description:
Uses http://www.spinellis.gr/sw/umlgraph custom doclet to generate class diagrams from
javadoc tags in sources. Output format is graphviz's .dot, as an intermediate format.
Could be extended (among others) with:
- layout optimization and default rendering(s) from http://jzgraph.sf.net
- dynamic rendering from http://touchgraph.sf.net
- alternative rendering path via jakarta-commons-sandbox/graph2
- generation of XMI idioms (for import into UML tool(s)) instead of rendering
Depends on inclusion of appropriate javadoc tags by developers into their sources.
Minimal plugin doku included.
Doclet doku is at http://www.spinellis.gr/sw/umlgraph
ONE JAR FILE WILL BE SUBMITTED
