Earlier in the week, I presented a webinar on managing build time dependencies which is now available as a recording. In it, I showed a fancy dependency diagram and suggested that any of my AnthillPro customers could generate that by loading in a custom report.
Naturally, you all emailed me. Our wiki has it. There are two reports to be found here: http://wiki.urbancode.com/AnthillPro/AnthillPro_Velocity_Reports both starting with “Interactive Dependency Report” in the name. The VML one is Internet explorer specific. The SVG one works for everyone else.
To apply the report, go to System > Reports and create a new velocity report. Be sure to check the build life integration box, and paste the code into the main report area.
Ooh, I never considered generating SVG images using reports. Closest I’ve come is generating DOT files for Graphviz but browsers can’t render those.
Two minor issues with the post:
- “The our wiki has it.”
- The thumbnail links to a 404 page.
Fixed and fixed. The image was meant to just be a small image rather than a thumb.
