[Springframework-developer] beandoc tool

[Darren D. <da...@da...>]

I've done a bit of work on a tool to document and graph context files.  It=
=20
still needs some work in a few areas but it's starting to show promise I=20
think.

Although highly configurable in terms of output, the defaults are pretty=20
sane and were used to generate docs from JPetStore's config.  They can be=20
seen at http://www.davison.uk.net/beandoc/ for a short while.  All of the=20
HTML and graphs were generated by simply calling the main class and=20
supplying the input files and an output location as command line args.

The only changes made to the input files was to move some of the XML=20
comments into <description> tags.  Output of <list> <map> <set> and one or=
=20
two other tags is currently either broken or not started, but there's=20
enough there to get the idea.

Stuff still to do: finish XSLT templates, add an ANT task, write docs, etc.=
=20
etc.

Is there any interest from others in using this and seeing it added as a=20
subproject (like RCP or Spring-IDE)?
