New graph view in the KF desktop


Available as of revision 2598. It's actually pretty useful, not only cool. Try it out by downloading the latest night build from

http://www.knopflerfish.org/snapshots/current_trunk

...and select "Graph" from the view menu. Nodes are bundles. The left side shows packages imports and exports, the right side shows services. Exports are drawn upwards in the graph, imports downward.

  • Double-click on nodes moves to another bundle (using animation)
  • Right-click shows a popup menu with some common operations
  • The faded icons on the bottom are the bundle history.
Also, we've made the desktop bundle completely standalone, so you can now easyly install it in any OSGi framework. (try it on Eclipse Ganymede with approximate 240 bundles!)
