I needed to see the dependencies between the ant tasks in our project.
I first came across this older page with different tools for creating a graph of the dependencies, but unfortunately, the tools mentioned here do not seem to be developed any more.
But then I found this great groovy script embedded as an ant target.
I downloaded groovy, and separated the taskdef from the groovy script, in order to place the groovy libraries where I wanted.
<taskdef name="groovy" classname="org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovy"> <classpath> <fileset dir="groovy-1.8.6/lib" includes="*.jar"/> </classpath> </taskdef> <groovy> .... </groovy>
GraphViz was installed in no time (from ubuntu APT), and the resulting graph is quite good!
