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 sources 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?
   - List-based scoping and filtering
   - List deprecated elements in a codebase
   - Dependency-based OO metrics profiles

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.
