Mathieu Lirzin commented on OFBIZ-11315:
----------------------------------------
As explained by Jacques, the --graph option is very lightweight utility
exploiting the functionality of the graph traversal code that is already used
when loading components.
This tool is useful to have in the core because it enables the management of an
important set of plugins that depend on each others and will likely require
some analysis/debugging. One motivation was to have a unified view of the
components like what is provided partially by component-load.xml files. The
difference is that the graph representation have better semantics because it
represents faithfully the partially ordered relation of component dependency
which is missing from component-load.xml.

> In order to inspect what components are loaded by OFBiz and their dependency
> relationship, it is convenient to have a visual graph representation.
> {code}
> gradlew "ofbiz --graph"
> {code}
> will output a {{ofbiz.dot}} file that can be processed with Graphviz:
> {code}
> cat ofbiz.dot | dot -T png -o ofbiz.png
> {code}
> Currently there is no dependency relationship specified by components but to
> check the kind of graph is produced it is possible to revert commit
