No Rest For The Wicked
The wicked fast open source code browser OpenGrok has been updated like crazy lately. First of all the team of Trond, Jorgen, and Knut has set up a Hudson at the famous Norbye site, and fixed a lot of bugs and style for OpenGrok. Myself have made some contribution by adding the ability to run OpenGrok as a JMX agent, and also a TrayIcon based client to connect to it, and by the way adding some bugs as well ;)
To start using the JMX agent, you currently have to check out the source code, but hopefully it will be available soon in the 0.7 release.
Here is a short howto...first you have to set up opengrok and create a configuration file, then start the agent:
java -cp opengrok.jar org.opensolaris.opengrok.management.OGAgentThe agent will now start running indexing, by default every 2 mins. By starting the system tray client as well:
java -cp opengrok.jar org.opensolaris.opengrok.management.client.OpengrokTrayAppAn OG icon will show up in your system tray, where it will mainly be black when everything is ok, red if you are not connected to the agent, and yellow if the opengrok source repository has been updated. Right click to change settings if needed to connect, and if yellow click notifications to see what files have been updated in the indexing of opengrok.
This is just a first implemented task for the client-agent app, we hope to add more features shortly
