This is great! Very cool! I think we need this--Hivemind has HiveDoc, why
can't we have SpringDoc? :-)

Perhaps a slogan, too?
"SpringDoc: dependency visualization for Spring-powered applications" :-)

Subject: [Springframework-developer] beandoc tool

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

Although highly configurable in terms of output, the defaults are pretty 
sane and were used to generate docs from JPetStore's config.  They can be 
seen at http://www.davison.uk.net/beandoc/ for a short while.  All of the 
HTML and graphs were generated by simply calling the main class and 
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 
comments into <description> tags.  Output of <list> <map> <set> and one or 
two other tags is currently either broken or not started, but there's 
enough there to get the idea.

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

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