Description

Getting help on assembly issues isn't easy. Currently, one has to provide the application assembly code that can span several files. Not really convenient.

The Envisage Tool allow to browse an application assembly at runtime and to export the assembly as PDFs. This is excellent but having something that export assembly info as a copy/paste-able text format would greatly ease the process.

Moreover, Envisage require a graphical context and user interaction. The Qi4j SDK should provide a shorter path to get a full report of application assembly.

On the road to 2.0 we already extracted non UI code from Envisage into the tools/model-detail module. This module should be improved to provide, at least, a simple service that output the whole Application Model on application start in a copy/paste-able text format either to stdout or to a file.
