GraphMaker is an incomplete Java application to create graphs consisting of nodes connected by directed and undirected edges, and perform various graph operations on them, such as breadth-first-search and minimum-spanning-tree.

This application was never finished and in its current state accomplishes very little.

The one remarkable thing about this project is that it has a very fast and correct Java implementation of the Fibonacci Heap data structure. It is found in the core/src/com/bluemarsh/graphmaker/core/util directory.

• Implement the graphical editor
  • Look at Shapes Integration Sample in graph/integration
  • Set the TopComponent toolbar via the graph panel
  • Look for XXX to fix uses of Scene, and in widget factory
• How to represent the tools, and connect them to the view?
  • NB graph library has something for this.
  • Tools should appear in the editor toolbar
  • Tools are represented by Actions, which are added to the toolbar
    • Invoking the action tells the ToolManager to set the current tool
    • Tool attaches itself to the current document and view
  • Define a ToolManager service
    • manages the tools (set current, attach, detach)
    • does not persist anything
• Should the model component client properties be persisted?
  • If so, done in DefaultModelBeanInfo.Persistent class.
• Implement undo/redo support (hook in through top component)
• Create appropriate icons for the data loader, data node, wizard
• Recompile Windows launcher to take new icon.
• Update to latest NetBeans conventions
  • ErrorManager no longer used
