ENRE-Java

ENRE (ENtity Relationship Extractor) is a tool for extraction of code entity dependencies or relationships from source code.

Features

• Conforms to the latest Java progremming language specification of Oracle.

• Support for multirepo projects, the prerequisite is that these repos have the same package name management.

• Support for non-SDK restriction level matching of Android projects.

• Highly standardized, documentations are comprehensive and publicly available.

• Supports multiple usage patterns, including CLI and programmatic interfaces.

Supported Language

Language	Maximum Version
Java	17

Documentation

Specifications on which kinds of entities and relations can be captured and any other details can be found in docs.

Usage

1. Prepare the executable jar

The released jar of ENRE-Java is named as enre_java.jar

2. Set up Java environment

To execute enre_java.jar, you should set up Java environment: at least JDK 11 version.

If the project is quite larger, such as base columns under Android, please increase the memory heap above 8G.

3. cmd usage

The usage command is:

java -jar <executable> <lang> <dir> <project-name>

The detailed information of the parameter and option of the command is:

Usage: enre_java [-hs] [-a=<aidl>] [-e=<external>] [-hd=<hidden>]
                 [-o=<outputFile>] [-d=<dir>]... <lang> <src> <projectName>
      <lang>          The lanauge of project files: []
      <src>           The directory to be analyzed
      <projectName>   The analyzed project file name
  -a, --aidl=<aidl>   If the analyzed project is an Android project which
                        contains .aidl files, please provide the corresponding .
                        java files which have the same relative path with the
                        original file
  -d, --dir=<dir>     The additional directories to be analyzed
  -e, --external=<external>
                      The third party APIs which need to identify
  -h, --help          Display this help and exit
      -hd, --hidden=<hidden>
                      The path of hiddenapi-flag.csv
  -o, --output=<outputFile>
                      The output file name, default is projectName-out
  -s, --slim          The slim output version, which removing the location and
                        external entity info.

To increase the memory heap, you can add -Xmx before -jar, like:

java -Xmx20G -jar <executable> <lang> <dir> <include-dir> <project-name>

• The executable jar package of ENRE-Java.
• The language of source code that will be analysed, now it must be java.
• The path of the source code that will be analysed.
• A short alias name of the analysed source code project.

Example:

• Use enre_java.jar to analyse a demo project "halo_1.4.10" written in Java:

# in windows platform
$java -jar enre_java.jar java demo-projects\halo_1.4.10 halo_1.4.10

After analysis, ENRE-Java finally outputs the resolved entities and dependencies in JSON files in current directory.

• Use enre_java.jar to analyse the /base directory under AOSP, also providing the corresponding .aidl path:

# in windows platform
$java -jar enre_java.jar java ...\frameworks\base base -a <aidl-path>

• Use enre_java.jar to analyse the /base directory under AOSP, also providing several mirror paths which contain source files and share same project name:

# in windows platform
$java -jar enre_java.jar java ...\frameworks\base base -d ...\base
