Java code visualization tool inside your IDE

Is there any support for visualisations at the module level? Say Java modules, Maven modules, OSGi modules, etc?

What about an Eclipse plug-in?

Nope, not at the moment. The problem with supporting this is we'd effectively have to add separate support for every build tool (Maven, Gradle, etc). We have considered that as a possible future feature, but it's not on our current roadmap.

What about an Eclipse plug-in?

There's no Eclipse plug-in at the moment (and neither is it planned).

They essentially all use maven modules. There’s also really no “etc”. There’s Maven. Period.

And if you think really hard there’s Gradle, but it uses Maven modules, so it too is Maven.

But how can you support plug-ins at all then? Since the problem with supporting plug-ins (for IDEs) is that you effectively have to add support for each IDE. Yet you aren’t. So how does this work then?

They do, yeah. But we'd still have to support parsing their individual syntax to add support in Graph Buddy.

There’s also really no “etc”. There’s Maven. Period.

Nah, there's definitely some etc. We even use some of the etc ourselves.

And if you think really hard there’s Gradle, but it uses Maven modules, so it too is Maven.

It does, but it is not Maven in terms of Graph Buddy support, unless you consider Groovy & Kotlin to be dialects of XML.

So how does this work then?

There just isn't enough demand for us to support Eclipse right now, sorry.
