Tool for visualizing Ant build.xml files' dependencies

2.4k Views Asked by At

I'm taking over a couple of projects with fairly complex build.xml files. Which tool do you recommend to help me visualize all the files' dependencies?

I've found ant2dot.xsl and Vizant. I just wanted to see what other options are out there and what people prefer.

I like Grand best of the three because it handles imported build files the best. Since I rely heavily on imports, this is critical.

In 2007, I had written an article comparing the three along with an example of the output of each. I just checked and not have the libraries have change significantly in that time so the analysis still holds.
