Understanding dependencies between plug-ins in Eclipse is a complex task. The current plug-in dependency analysis tools available in Eclipse are restricted to simple tree views with drill-down support. This project aims at adding visualization support to the Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) in order to help provide cognitive support to developers as they analyze their plug-in dependencies. This view is being done as part of the [[Google Summer of Code 2007|Google Summer Of Code]]. == The Project == The dependency visualization aims to provide a set of views to assist with plug-in dependency analysis tasks. In particular, the views will provide cognitive support to people as they attempt to understand the dependencies between their plug-ins. For a complete description of the view, please visit the [http://www.eclipse.org/pde/incubator/dependency-visualization/index.php project website]. For a complete list of all the open issues, please see our [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=%5Bpde+viz%5D&classification=Eclipse&product=PDE&component=Incubators&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= bug list]. == Deliverables == === Legend === [[Image:Glass.gif]] Needs some investigation [[Image:Progress.gif]] Patch in progress [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Bug fixed / Feature added === Bugs === 1. Complete the PDE View and add plug-in filters * [[Image:Progress.gif]] Filter by JRE Version [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168729 (Bug#168729)] * [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Filter by Enabled / Disabled [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=183658 (Bug#183658)] 2. [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Add dependency path analysis (show why a plug-in is required by highlighting dependency paths). [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=183815 (Bug#183815)] 3. Add improved navigation support * [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Forward and back button support [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=183818 (Bug#183818)] * [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Add search support for the list of show plug-ins [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=183819 (Bug#183819)] 4. [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Remove the dependency on GEF [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=183820 (Bug#183820)] 5. [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Add Screenshot support [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=199491 (Bug#199491)] 6. [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Add Show Version Number [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200046 (Bug#200046)] 7. [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Introduce error reporting This was a number of small bugs that provides "smart error reporting" when errors are found in the dependencies 8. [[Image:Ok_green.gif]] Investigate the use of the Draw2D Directed Graph Layout [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200195 (Bug#200195)] == Accessing the code == Look [http://www.eclipse.org/pde/incubator/dependency-visualization/getsource.php here] for a complete description of how to access the code for the PDE Dependency View [[Category:SOC]] [[Category:GEF]] [[Category:PDE]]
