Attached is a tgz containing some initial code.

Todo: create a patch against the current gradle SVN and rename classes to fit gradle naming conventions.

This currently supports two output formats

a) a nice ASCII tree which is very verbose
b) graphviz dot notation for generating a nice DAG. Needs the output to be run through the dot tool to generate a PNG

Attached a diff against SVN trunk.

Some things:

  • haven't hooked up to the CLI as I couldn't work out what BuiltInTasksBuildExecutor was doing and I'm tired
  • added a "lastResolveReport" property to the DefaultDependencyResolver. The graph builder needs an Ivy ResolveReport, and this seemed like the best place to get it.
  • the ShowDependenciesTask by default will output an ASCII tree for the runtime dependencies. The outputFile, conf and renderer properties alter this behaviour (see javadoc)
  • unit tests missing. Ivys ResolveReport is made of much fail and little javadocs. Ugh.

I've commited the patch. I will start wiring it up to the command line
