iwtr-import

This command-line tool is part of the IWTR project.

iwtr-import analyses one or more given projects, generating a graph containing all the project modules and their dependencies, as specified in the respective ivy.xml files.

Upon completion, it's possible to run other iwtr commands to get information about the dependency structure.

How to make it work

1. Download the code

2. Open a terminal and go to the project root directory

3. On a Linux machine:
   ./gradlew installApp
   cd build/install/iwtr-import
   ./bin/iwtr-import

   On a Windows machine:
   gradlew.bat installApp
   cd build\install\iwtr-import
   bin\iwtr-import

4. Follow the instructions

5. The command won't give you any feedback if everything works as expected.

Future enhancements

• Customisation via command-line parameters
• User can change the repository location
• User can reset the database before importing the projects
• User can choose the type of the build files. Currently only ivy type is supported, but there are plans to support maven type
• Testing? Probably not much unit tests but most likely some integration tests for avoiding regressions
