Codeminer - Microscope for softwares

Languages

Only Java is supported in the current stable release. Experimental branch 0.1 partially support C/C++ (CDT) and Python (DLTK).

Data export formats

Before using Gephi or another visualisation software, CodeMiner Eclipse plugin export data in the following file formats:

GEXF for Gephi
GDF for Guess
XMI for UML

Performances involved

CodeMiner Eclipse plugin extends Eclipse parsers for storing relations between elements. The project started on March 2008 with low-cost laptops. We optimized data memory (3NF) in a way we are now proud to claim analysing big projects like org.eclipse.jdt.core (sources), containing +280 000 lines of code, in less than 5 minutes on a computer with 2GO RAM and an Intel Core2 Duo CPU T7500.

Parsing

List of elements supported by the Java parser:
Packages, interfaces, classes, anonymous classes, methods, fields

List of relations (dependencies) supported by the Java parser:
Methods calls, ancestor (AST tree), heritance, interface implementation.
And the details for some ones below...

	fieldAccess this.foo
	superFieldAccess super.foo
	qualifiedName foo.bar
	classInstanceCreation this.test() -> A()
	classInstanceCreation DefaultConstructor B.test() -> A()
	superContructorInvocation B.B() -> A.A()
	superMethodInvocation B.B() -> A.A()
	MethodInvocation B.test() -> A.methodA()
	MethodInvocation B.test() -> B.methodA()
	MethodInvocation B.test() -> A.methodA()
	MethodInvocation No dependency added
