SetupVizant

This page is designed to demonstrate how to setup Vizant in AppFuse.

1. Download vizant.jar and put it in lib/vizant-0.1.1/vizant.jar.

2. Define the vizant.jar in lib/lib.properties:

#
# Vizant - http://vizant.sf.net
#
vizant.version	= 0.1.1
vizant.dir=${lib.dir}/vizant-${vizant.version}
vizant.jar=${vizant.dir}/vizant.jar

3. Add the "vizant" target in build.xml:

    <!-- Visant task for visualizing Ant tasks -->
    <target name="vizant">
        <taskdef name="vizant" classname="net.sourceforge.vizant.Vizant" 
            classpath="${vizant.jar}"/>
        <mkdir dir="${build.dir}/vizant"/>
	<vizant antfile="build.xml" outfile="${build.dir}/vizant/build.dot" 
            from="deploy" to="init">
            <attrstmt type="node">
                <attr name="style" value="filled"/>
                <attr name="shape" value="egg"/>
                <attr name="color" value="grey90"/>
            </attrstmt>
        </vizant>
        <exec executable="dot">
            <arg line="-Tpng ${build.dir}/vizant/build.dot -o 
                       ${build.dir}/vizant/deploy.png"/>
        </exec>
    </target>

4. Adjust "from" and "to" attributes in the <vizant> task to fit with the targets you want to diagram.

5. Download and install Graphviz.

6. Run "ant vizant".
