Enhancement: multiple DOT reports
Since yours plugin is one of my favorites, because it's much easier to orient in huge projects. But it would be nice to have more reports like in $buildDir/visteg/... Surely there is a lot of potential of extending this to more Gradle projects.
I was thinking about current output with some simplifications if project is defined as: Root -> N sub-projects In its current state, the plugin always visualizes the same tasks for each sub-project, even if they exist the same as the root module. It would be nice to get detailed information of root module task dependencies and for sub-projects get only 1 edge from the first occurrence to just module abstraction only if all modules has the same sub-graph, but that might need another shape or visual effect. Even the project of 8 modules gets into a state that is unable to read the chart in normal screen size because it is quite complicated view.
Example: Java project
:jar -> :compileJava +.... :jar -> :module :jar -> :module
Instead of:
:jar -> :compileJava + ... :jar -> :module:jar + :module:compileJava + .... :jar -> :module:jar + :module:compileJava + ...
Or another options:
- current report (whole diagram)
- minimized current report
- module dependency graph report
- project class-path dependencies report
- only current module report (that would depend which module is currently executing the task)
It's just about a suggestion when you'll be bored or feel free to close that.
