Are there any good ant visualization programs out there?

Question

I am looking for a utility that will suck in an ant build file and present a graphical display of the targets and properties available to that target. Please don't respond with 'VisualAnt' I own it and it sucks.

Answer 1

Look at Elements of Ant Style wiki page. They have a link there for a XSLT style sheet that makes a build file browsable. Here is a link for it. The wiki page also shows how to use it.

Answer 2

Linguine Maps is maybe an option.

See Create entity-relation diagram text

Bye.

Answer 3

I use yWorks Ant Explorer. It runs as a stand alone app. It's pretty good. Apparently there is an Eclipse plugin as well but I haven't been able to locate that.

It's free. Not sure if yWorks still develops it. You can download the jar here. After download, just create a bat file with this command:

java -jar antexplorer.jar
