I'm very interested to look into this repository analysis tool and would appreciate to get a binary trial. I know B3 Aggregator (and I like it), but I'm missing some search related features like "where used". Would be great if someone can point me to a similar tool for analyzing relations coded in feature.xml and plugin-manifests. Regards, Klaus
