    -GraphViz - shall be installed on the computer. -

    6 TO DO

    +

    -On Ubuntu/Debian use: +Note: Because this is side project (and I have many of them) I can +only contribute few hours per year at average. Any help is welcome. A +LOT of cool ideas could be implemented. For intstance:

    -
    -
    sudo apt-get install graphviz
-
    -
    -
    -
    -

    6 TODO

    -
    • BUG: Should not hide references if there are too many of them to classes if referring classes are not visible anyway because of blacklist/whitelist rules. Basically reference counting should -exclude not visible classes. -
      • -
    • FEATURE: add dark theme -
      • -
    • FEATURE: sort Class fields by alphabet -
      • -
    • FEATURE: visualize also concrete field values so it could be used as -ultra cool runtime logging framework -
      • -
    • FEATURE: possibility to visualize structure and data from JVM -snapshot -
      • -
    • FEATURE: possibility to attach to remote process to visualize -data/structure using JVM debug port and mechanism. -
      • -
    • FEATURE: possibility to attach to JVM using JVM agent -
      • -
    • FEATURE: possibility to script javainspect behavior -
      • -
    • FEATURE: possibility to select classes/fields/values to be -visualized in SQL like syntax -
      • -
    • FEATURE: configurable maven plugin to generate graphs as part of the -project build/release process -
      • +exclude not visible classes. + +
    • BUG: Orphaned class removal does not work always. There are many +bugs and corner cases to find and fix still.
      • + +
    • BUG: Code is not very readable. Document and refactor for better +maintainability.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Create installable DEB package. +
        +
      • Submit it to some Debian developer for integration or become +Debian package maintainer.
        • +
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Make it modular. That is: central part, an application +model could be standalone and serializable. + +
        +
      • There could be multiple ways to acquire model: +
          +
        • By introspecting application via Java reflections (current mode +of operation).
          • +
        • By parsing java source. (unfinished)
          • +
        • + +
      • There could be ways to manipulate model: +
          +
        • Store/load/compare.
          • +
        • Trim uninteresting parts.
          • +
        • Highlight important parts.
          • +
        • + +
      • There could be multiple ways to render model: +
          +
        • PNG/SVG (currently implemented)
          • +
        • PlantUML (TODO)
          • +
        • Interactive 3D visualization (TODO)
          • +
        • +
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Implement (or integrate existing java parser +https://javaparser.org/) to be able to produce code visualizations +based on source code (in addition to current reflection based +approach).
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Integarte with PlantUML.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Add dark theme for generated graphs.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Sort Class fields by alphabet.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Visualize also concrete field values so it could be used as +ultra cool runtime logging/debugging framework.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Possibility to visualize structure and data from JVM +snapshot.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Possibility to attach to remote process to visualize +data/structure using JVM debug port and mechanism.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Possibility to attach to JVM using JVM agent.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Possibility to inspect graphs in 3D using Sixth 3D engine.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Possibility to select classes/fields/values to be +visualized in some graph query language. For greater flexibility in +comparison to currently supported glob syntax.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Add option to control JavaInspect via JSON or XML config +file. For example different graphs for given project could be +defined once in plain text config, possibly with the aid of some +interactive utility. Then defined graphs could be updated as part of +project build or release process.
      • + +
    • FEATURE: Configurable maven plugin to generate graphs as part of the +project build/release process.
