Eclipse Plugin (OSGi) Visualization

If you are going mad trying to figure out the dependencies between lots of Eclipse plug-ins, or work with other large OSGi systems, you may be interested in this.

We've had a few people looking for an Eclipse/OSGi backend for Structure101, and with all the hype about OSGi lately, we decided to lift the lid on it.  Here is an early version that you can download. If you're an Eclipse user, just point it at your plugins directory to see the same kind of views, hierarchies and slices that you get with the Java version.

Below is a random screen shot of my Eclipse plug-ins to give you the idea (click for the full-size image).

It's pretty rough at the moment - the download page indicates where we've made some arbitrary decisions on the model structure and where we think it's probably not quite right. I'd love some comments from OSGi heads on if/how you'd like us to change it to make it more finished. If you think you'd find it useful, talk to Paul about an extended license key.
