Vincent, Thanks for the diagram. I started experimenting a little bit. I need some time to come up with a solid approach so far though. I am looking forward to your input and comments. I am making the assumption that there will be a dashboard project with the following subsystems (similar to your diagram):
- Parser, data collectors: API will have to be specified. Some plugins such as the PMD work in memory, this may require to incorporate a listening mechanism for data collection in such plugins. - Data repository: How should the collected data be organized. - Data aggregation and Dashboard generation: I have been exploring the possibility of embedding BIRT from the eclipse project. Any strong opinion on the list on doing so? I believe that this would allow the dashboard to easily be customizable for different cuts of data aggregation using BIRT's design capabilities. The key here is to define the type of data that should be collected. I am currently further exploring the BIRT embedding. How do you want to pursue on this? Should I submit patches as I move along?
