Linguine Maps for Apache Ant is an open-source utility that will automatically produce easy to read diagrams from Ant build files. The diagram shows all the task dependencies and colors default, normal, and optional task in different colors.

There is absolutely no manual work! It is fully automatic! Use it online now! Just paste your favorite Ant build script into a web form and instantly view a diagram! With a diagram it will take you only minutes to become familiar with new Ant build files. You can always go back to source files when more details are needed.

Here we defined a simple Ant build file. And converted it to a diagram. It's that easy!

<project name="Test Build" default="build" basedir="."> <target name="init" description="Clean all folders"> </target> <target name="compile" depends="init" description="Compile source files"> </target> <target name="jar" depends="compile" description="Create a jar file"> </target> <target name="javadoc" if="doDocs" depends="compile" description="Create docs"> </target> <target name="build" depends="jar, javadoc"> </target> </project>

There are many more sample diagrams available for Apache Ant files.

Linguine Maps is written in Java and provides clean object-oriented diagramming API for graph visualization. We developed a full set of Apache ANT tasks for integrating programmatic visualization with the build process. This package also contains demo applications that show you how to visualize abstract graphs.
