CallGraph

CallGraph is a view plugin for Eclipse that enables graphical exploration of call hierarchies.  Leverages the internal platform Call Hierarchy and Search mechanisms and uses Zest to provide a searchable graphical representation of the caller/callee relations between methods (including constructors and internal classes).

Designed to help understand complex and/or extended flow relations in larger scale applications.

Architecture

Based on:

• PDE Dependency Visualization example project
• hlv call-graph viewer project

Development State

• Static call tracing functions are implemented -- dynamic tracing planned for next release
• Zoom, snapshot, and multiple layouts/routers implemented
• Focus and pin/highlight interesting relationship functions planned for next release
• Employs some reflection hacks to work-around existing Zest bugs/limitations

Use

1. Open the CallGraph view (optional -- will open automatically as needed)
2. The initial method node can be selected by right clicking on a method element in the Content Outline view or on a method name in a JDT Editor
3. Select the CallGraph menu item and choose Caller/Callee
4. Right click on method nodes in the CallGraph view to explore individual branches of the call graph.
