Introduction

Get the latest release here

This plugin simply uses JDepend to create a report based on the selected project. It'll generate a jdepend folder in the project's root folder with a report in xml format, a dot file and an image generated from the dot file using Graphviz.

Requirements

  • GraphViz installed for image generation

Note: The generated image might be too big to be displayed within Netbeans.

JDepend Overview

For details go to JDepend website

You'll need Graphviz installed for the plugin to work.

RE:cannot install it because of plugin dependencies

As you can see, it is only released for 7.1 and 7.2. Sorry.

Incompatible with NB7.0.1

Hi,
could you cancel your NB 7.0 verification request ?
This version can't be installed on NB 7.0.1. I'd like to avoid a NOGO (it would automatically create a bug entry in NB bugzilla).

Thank you for your understanding.

Something wrong happened while creating the report. java.io.SyncFailedException

Testing Environment:
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.1.1 (Build 201203012225)
Java: 1.7.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 22.1-b02
System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; fr_FR (nb)
User directory: C:\Users\carlos\.netbeans\7.1.1
Cache directory: C:\Users\carlos\.netbeans\7.1.1\var\cache


> The following exception and error message appears when you click: NetBeans > Tools Menu > JDepend Analysis

Something wrong happened while creating the report. Please try again.
If it keeps happening please create a bug with as much information as you can:
http://kenai.com/jira/browser/JDEPEND_PLUGIN
java.io.SyncFailedException: C:\Users\carlos\Documents\NetBeansProjects\GUIFormExamples\jdepend

> It happens sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. You click once it works, next click it fails and it fails for the next 3 times, then it works again.
> It doesn't matter if it is just installed or just reactivated, the error is reproduced in both cases.
> When the error appears and you look at the output folder you see that only the .dot and the .xml files were generated. The problem seems to be the .png file.
> When the error doesn't appear the 3 files are generated in the output folder, however, the .png is 0 kbs always.
> Also, the jDepend Report Creator screen appears and is empty. Is this correct? or should it display the .xml/.dot content?

Let me know if you need more details, screenshots, etc.

Try it now

Can you try it with 0.4? I did some enhancements that might help.

Does not generate images

Sure you have Graphviz installed? Any errors?

Probably I can add some code to check for correct installation. Any project I can use for testing it? Do you get something when you type dot in the command prompt?

Does not generate images

Javier, are you sure that generation of PNG images works correctly? I tried to jDepend analyse two projects and report.png images were empty (zero size) in both cases.
BTW, the menu item does nothing if project node is selected in Files explorer.
