I've been thinking of writing something for work. It will prob have to be in Java.
I'm looking to create a program that will iterate through all the files in our software and store any links to other files.
i.e. if there are three file and file a runs file b which in turn runs file c then there will be two links (a,b) and (b,c).
This is the easy bit.
The hard bit is I would like to create a graphical interface to represent the map that is created. I was thinking of something along the lines of the Google image similarity interface... (I think it was that anyway, can't find it atm). Anyway, it worked by placing the selected image in the middle of the screen and showing lines out to all the connected images that were placed around the centre image.
When you click one of the orbiting images it moved it to the middle and created the lines for it.
I'd like to try at least to get something similar but I'm not too sure where to start (esp with Java). I could probably do something in Cocoa on my Mac but then I wouldn't be able to use it at work.
Any tips are very welcome
