Visualize Your JavaEE Dependencies In 30 Seconds
visualee is an amazing tool for the visualization of Java EE dependencies like CDI, EJB, Resources, Events, Observers and JPA relations.
The configuration is simple and works out-of-the-box (it took me 30 seconds to visualize x-ray's dependencies).
<plugin>
<groupId>de.struller-baumann</groupId>
<artifactId>visualee</artifactId>
<version>0.25</version>
<configuration>
<outputdirectory>visualee</outputdirectory>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>visualize</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
See lightfish dependencies in action.
The visualization is highly configurable. Please don't forget to star (my star is the first one :-)) visualee and to follow https://github.com/Thomas-S-B/ on github.
See you at Java EE Workshops at MUC Airport, particularly at: Java EE 7 Bootstrap!
Very nice, this CDI specific visualization is really helpful:

Nice to see how the semantics of the CDI annotations are visible in the dependencies.
