Plugin to display an ASCII-art dependency graph.

Usage

You can run this without modifying your project with the following command:

mvn com.github.mdr:maven-dependencygraph-plugin:0.0.3:graph

Larger graphs might need to be piped through a pager, e.g. less -S:

mvn com.github.mdr:maven-dependencygraph-plugin:0.0.3:graph | less -S

Or in a Windows cmd prompt, you can change the buffer width via Properties -> Layout -> Screen Buffer Size -> Width = 9999

You can also customise some of the drawing options using system properties. For example:

mvn -Dgraph.vertical -Dgraph.rounded com.github.mdr:maven-dependencygraph-plugin:0.0.3:graph | less -S

Options

• graph.unicode -- if true (default), use Unicode box-drawing characters, else use ASCII only
• graph.vertical -- if true, layers flow top to bottom, else left to right
• graph.doubleVertices -- if true, use double line box characters for vertices (requires graph.unicode)
• graph.rounded -- if true, draw corners using rounded characters (requires graph.unicode)

The dependency graph calculation is derived from the existing maven-graph-plugin at:
