Dependency Analysis, OO Metrics, Version Deltas

http://depfind.sourceforge.net/

Dependency Finder extracts dependencies and OO metrics from
Java class files produced by most Java compilers. It can compute
API differences between versions; no source needed. It includes
Ant tasks, web, Swing, and command-line interfaces, with XSL
stylesheets for formatting output. It comes with .bat files for
Windows, but it should be trivial to write shell scripts for Unix
systems (I just don't have a Unix box handy to test them on, yet).

You can use it to extract dependencies between packages, classes,
or even methods, or any combination thereof. You can use Perl
regular expressions to filter the information and pinpoint only
what you need. There is even a Web Application version (WAR file)
so a whole group of developers can share a common view.

What's new since last time?
- Ant tasks for using as part of automated build process
- Full set of user documentation

Dependency Finder is an open source tool hosted by SourceForge.net.
It's free, you don't need elaborate licensing or anything, just
a running Java environment.

Go ahead and try it! It's easy and it's free.
