[jboss-as7-dev] Modules visualization
This is done here:
* https://github.com/alesj/grapher
"mvn clean install" will build you a grapher-web-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war in
dist/target/.
You can have such "commands":
* http://localhost:8080/grapher-web-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/?extension=this-module
*
http://localhost:8080/grapher-web-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/?extension=single-module...
Unfortunately the layout sucks, as I'm missing the jgraph-layout lib.
(which doesn't come oss, afaik)
Any Swing UI help welcome -- to impl custom layout (+ algorithm).
I'm yet to impl AllModules graph creator.
Another thing to add is Services visualization, which should be easy to add,
since you mostly need to add trivial lookup logic.

Hey,
not a bad idea, and I would gladly do it.
I'm already hacking on Modules for some other project, so I'm quite familiar with
them.
I'll try to implement something for Beta1,
to ease user experience with the new modularized cl layer.
It will probably be similar to what I did for MC deps, a simple .war app,
and I'll check with HeikoB what can/should be done to integrate it with the new
console.

tool that you did for MC dependencies made me think of you for this idea. I'm not
sure if it is even possible or wanted. But, how do our users figure out, what is going on
in classloader land, with regard to what classes/jars are accessible to each module or
deployment (maybe both?).
