[jira] [Commented] (POLYGENE-49) Tool to easily report full application assembly

["Niclas Hedhman (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/POLYGENE-49?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16027862#comment-16027862 ] 

Niclas Hedhman commented on POLYGENE-49:
----------------------------------------

The Yeoman generator creates projects with a BootstrapTest, in which the application model will be printed to System.out as JSON. That is a first step towards solving this issue.

> Getting help on assembly issues isn't easy. Currently, one has to provide the application assembly code that can span several files. Not really convenient.
> The [Envisage Tool|https://zest.apache.org/java/latest/tools-envisage.html] allow to browse an application assembly at runtime and to export the assembly as PDFs. This is excellent but having something that export assembly info as a copy/paste-able text format would greatly ease the process.
> Moreover, Envisage require a graphical context and user interaction. The Qi4j SDK should provide a shorter path to get a full report of application assembly.
> On the road to 2.0 we already extracted non UI code from Envisage into the tools/model-detail module. This module should be improved to provide, at least, a simple service that output the whole Application Model on application start in a copy/paste-able text format either to stdout or to a file.
