graphing binding dependencies

[Kevin Burton]

on startup it would be nice to graph the dependencies of a daemon so I can see what the injection looks like.

I noticed there was a GraphViz module...

But this requires the Linux C binary and I'd like to not have to require packages.

IS there a way to render this just with Java to textual representation?

Is it not possible to render because it may not be a planar graph?

I would have assumed that you must setup your dependencies so it's a DAG with no cycles.

Thanks

A DAG is not necessarily planar as it may have undirected cycles.

Anyway I presume this doesn't exist just because rendering graphs is fairly difficult and it's easier to rely on GraphViz to do it.  And a complicated hierarchy would be hard to read from the console.

[Kevin Burton]

Yeah.. I think your right.  I was thinking that one way to mitigate this is to dump the graph file if you fail to start.  Then you can just view this on your workstation.

Someone might look at the Gradle graph code. It prints out a decent ascii format. It might be something from Ivy.
