Bundle dependency visualization

[Andreas Gies <an...@wayofquality.de>]

Hi, 

I am sorry if am posting to the wrong group (again ;).

Is there a nice tool for bundle dependency visualization. I would be happy
to get a dependency graph for the bundles deployed in a running container;
but even better would be dependencies inside a given set of repositories. 

I noticed it took me the longest time in my prototype to handcraft the
features files correctly. If I read an ealrier comment correctly, the
maven-features-plugin is not considered a good choice to generate those. Is
there a reason for that - perhaps it's just broken and needs fixing ?

Thanks in advance
Andreas

Hi Mike, 

dev:show-tree is kind of what I was hoping for.

Thanks for your efforts 
Andreas

There are a few karaf-command-line options which should help you: 



Mikes-Awesome-Karaf-Build > exports <bundleId> 

Mikes-Awesome-Karaf-Build > imports <bundleId> 

Mikes-Awesome-Karaf-Build > exports | grep <the package you want to see> 

Mikes-Awesome-Karaf-Build > imports | grep <the package you want to look for> 

Mikes-Awesome-Karaf-Build > dev:show-tree 



I'd like to say that you can also look for imports and exports in the Eclipse debugger, but that would be a lie.  So, the above stuff is what I normally use. 



v/r, 



Mike Van

Hi Mike, 

thanks for this. I am aware of the Eclipse tool. However, I was wondering if something similar was there working on OSGi bundles and their manifests rather than working on pom files. 

For example, with the Dependency graph I wouldn't see dependencies that I have sucked into my OSGi container using the wrap: url support. Also, if I have 3rd party bundles that have not been built with maven, I would be blind to them I believe ? 

I was thinking along the lines of a tool that kind of relates the import/export packages of the bundles ? 

Thanks 
Andreas

Eclipse has a great tool for this.  All you have to do is open your Eclipse project's pom.xml file, click on the "Dependency Graph" tab to view your dependencies.
