The Gradle View IntelliJ IDEA plugin shows a split tree rollup of the dependencies for each Gradle configuration in use by a project.
The Gradle View IntelliJ IDEA plugin shows a split tree rollup of the dependencies for each Gradle configuration in use
by a project. Dependency wrangling isn't easy in a large Java project. This IntelliJ IDEA plugin was built to add a little more sanity
to the tedious task of analyzing dependencies by rolling up the entire dependency graph into a pair of more easily
digestible trees derived from a serialized version of Gradle's dependency graph. The Dependency List provides a
lexicographically sorted set of all the dependencies for each configuration in your project and all of its sub-projects.
The Dependency Hierarchy shows a nested view of each Gradle configuration in your project and all of its sub-projects.
Grey dependencies in the tree indicate it was included by a previous dependency that was added before (and can be safely
omitted if it is explicitly being included).
The latest version of the Gradle View plugin is available on the JetBrains Plugin Repository. The first time you interact with Gradle View, you may need to download the embedded version of Gradle in case you don't already have a cached copy available on your workstation. This should be seamless, and the tool window title and log will indicate a download of this is in progress.
The IntelliJ plugin zip and a standalone jar release are available here. The standalone jar can be run without IntelliJ. You may also build and install the plugin from source (see below).
This repository has everything needed to set up the development environment to build this plugin from source.
The Gradle View plugin itself uses a Gradle-based build system. In the instructions
below, ./gradlew is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as
a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build. The prerequisites are
Git and JDK 1.8+ for using the Gradle Wrapper bootstrap.
More information about the IntelliJ IDEA plugin development process can be found here, but the following are some bare bones testing and development instructions:
Check out this repository locally with:
git clone git://github.com/rholder/gradle-view.git
Review the contents of the gradle.properties file in the root directory and update them if desired.
Run the following to create an installable plugin zip in build/distributions/gradle-view-*.zip:
./gradlew clean distPlugin
Install the plugin from disk with Settings/Preferences -> Plugins -> (Gear Icon) -> Install Plugin from Disk.
A standalone Swing version that doesn't depend on IntelliJ can be built with:
./gradlew clean distStandalone
This jar can then be run with:
java -jar build/distributions/gradle-view-standalone.jar
NOTE: This is not the same as the IntelliJ platform plugin zip. It cannot be installed in the IDE.
The Gradle View plugin is released under version 2.0 of the Apache License. See LICENSE file for more details.
