Re: New tool called ZenSonar for package spotting



...and here is a newer Version!
Christian has added a Search Box to figure out which package brought a
certain file along (has to be enabled in the properties). We are also
working on internationalization with locales etc. But dont expect that
soon as I have a fubar week ahead.

Enjoy testing.

PS: please also look at the CLI version. Just run "zensonar help" for
options and syntax.
