Visualize Your JavaEE Dependencies In 30 Seconds 📎

visualee is an amazing tool for the visualization of Java EE dependencies like CDI, EJB, Resources, Events, Observers and JPA relations.

The configuration is simple and works out-of-the-box (it took me 30 seconds to visualize x-ray's dependencies).


            <plugin>
                <groupId>de.struller-baumann</groupId>
                <artifactId>visualee</artifactId>
                <version>0.25</version>
                <configuration>
                    <outputdirectory>visualee</outputdirectory>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>process-resources</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>visualize</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

The visualization is highly configurable. Please don't forget to star (my star is the first one :-)) visualee and to follow https://github.com/Thomas-S-B/ on github.
