jWic Source Viewer

For the jWic release 3.1.0, we were looking for a tool that allows the homepage visitors to sneak into the demo sources. But all we found where tools that allowed the user to view only the java code. This limitation makes those tools almost useless for us as an application consists out of more then just java classes. Only if you can view all relevant files like templates, images, resource bundles or configuration files, you can get the whole picture.

So we implemented this tool for the visitors to view all relevant files with a modern UI. The content is specified in a file called workspace.xml, where the location of the source files is specified. The SourceViewer does then scan the locations for relevant files and builds up the project structure. So all we have to do is, to point the tool to the location where the files are located and thats it.

If you would like to use this tool for your own project, feel free to download and use it. You will find more informations about installation and configuration on the wiki pages.

The SourceViewer is available under the Apache Licence 2.0, so its free to use. Any feedback about it is welcome.
