Piotr, You also asked about motivation. Not everybody who uses Maven
needs tools like this. Those who think they need it might have their
own ideas about what they want. I think the best thing to do is make
it easy for them to try it and draw their own conclusions - and I
think you have. Even better would be to put a release together - a
released project would be super easy to download and use.

Hello Dave,
Sorry for not answering so long - I was too busy.
AFAIR the dependency resolution process is designed to work for whole
bunch of project -
so it should be possible to generate graph for "pom" project. I
haven't
looked into those interfaces for
more then one month - so currently I don't remember details.
I like the graph - you provided. How did you generated this ? I agree
that we should provide such
a graph (connector) to diagram maker.
Could you write more about your problems with classes-connector -
how to
reproduce it.
I am glad you want to help with that project. I hope there should
be no
problem with giving
you commit access to mojo/sandbox/maven-diagram-maker project. I
have at
least three shortages:
of time, of belief the project is important/usable and of self-
confident
that the way (design/ideas) are right.
I hope that working together will decrease especially the last two
problems.
Let's move our discussion to [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are more
people that can help
with dependency analyzes. You can subscribe here by sending empty mail
here: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can also contact me using jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am
currently
CET time.
Thank you,
Piotr Tabor

I finally found time to download the tool. I had a little trouble
compiling since I needed to get the right version of the mojo-sandbox
pom, but otherwise it worked well. I did have some problems with the
class graph, but the dependency graph worked well on our internal
projects.
One thing I'm really looking for is a solution to one specific
problem
we are having - namely if there is an easy way to generate graphs of
multiple projects all at the same time. Has anyone done this using
internal APIs?

Piotr and Jason -
I understand that you are on a Google SOC project to build a Maven
graph plugin, I haven't found much additional information about it
beyond the initial descriptions - is there a release on the way?
Am I
looking in the wrong places?
At my company we've worked in house on a few different ways of
looking
at our Maven dependencies (especially around release time) but
we keep
needing more and more features and would really like to improve our
toolset in this regard.

Halo Dave,
The source created during GSOC is available here:
http://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/sandbox/maven-diagram-maker
It's working, but not final. It need much more work, so don't expect
"release" soon (this year). I hope to work on it during the
academic year. If you would be so kind to give me feedback about
it - it
could motivate me to keep working on it ;).
If you want to join the project - you are welcome :)
Thank you,
Piotr
