[jira] Commented: (MPDASHBOARD-23) Dashboard history

Hi Vincent,

Are you talking about the plugin at http://users.skynet.be/fb050808/plugin-test/dashisto-report.html? 
There is a discussion about it at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1179851&forum_id=207669

I have been playing with it and made some small fixes, including support for percentage numbers like the ones generated junit and jcoverage. 
Note that it uses gnuplot instead of jfreechart.

>From my experience playing with it and from the demo attached to this page, I have a suggestion: used a filled chart, either lines or boxes, instead of a single line. The main reason is that the "scaled down" graph used as a thumb is in most cases just "noise" when a single line is used, but would work much better with a filled graph.

Another question is how to handle history for really long projects. One option would be to do something similar to what is done for stock prices and mortgage rates - provide "one year", "six  month" and "last month" graphs.

Regards,
  Nascif

> We have created functionallity for dashboard history graphs. As for now, this is implemented in a maven-dashboard-ext-plugin, which only have a postGoal to dashboard:xdocs which:
> - Collects data from dashboard-report.xml file and adds it to a history xml file.
> - Images are plotted (using JFreeChart, JCommon and DOM4J).
> - XML files are added to generated-xdocs with links to plotted images
> - Additional code in dashboard.jsl creates links to plotted images page on aggregator labels.
> I'm currently working on a sample project so you can have a look at it. The question is; can it be bundled with the current Dashboard plugin with reference to JFreeChart etc (licenses and so on...)?
