I am currently refactoring a large Java application. I have split up one of the central (Eclipse) projects into about 30 individual “components”, however they are still heavily inter-dependent. In order to get a better idea of what depends on what I am looking for some way to graph the compile time dependencies.
All tools I have found so far are capable of graphing package or class dependencies or the dependencies between Eclipse plugins, however what I have in mind should just take a look at the classpath settings for each Eclipse project and build a coarser grained graph from that.
Later I will then go deeper, however right now this would just mean I would not be able to see the forest for all of the trees.
Structure101 is capable of visualizing class and method JAR level dependencies in Jboss 5.
