JDepend sorgt für gute Beziehungen

Irgendwie spuckt jDepend interessante Werte aus, aber was so richtig damit anfangen? Nur eine Zahl um so etwas wie Paket-Instabilität auszudrücken? Wieso soll ich mich überhaupt um zyklische Abhängigkeiten kümmern, wenn mein System doch prima läuft? Und was um alles in der Welt ist ein dot in der Graphenvisualisierung?
JayWalker is an open-source build and deployment analysis tool which interrogates a Java application's compiled artifacts and generates static and interactive graphical reports from it. In turn, a software professional can interpret and use these reports to improve software quality and to understand the current state of the software application in question.
Although there are quite a few dependency analysis tools on the market, JayWalker is different because:
* It walks the class files rather than the source files
* It can interrogate nested archives (i.e. a JAR within a WAR within an EAR file)
* It can detect a variety of conflicts that can be identified at build and deployment time in an effort to minimize runtime dependency errors.
* It can be incorporated into a continuous integration solution so conflicts can be identified as they are introduced into source code control rather than addressing errors at runtime.
* It can be run standalone via the commandline on a system which just has a JRE installed
* Other dependency tools are package or class specific. JayWalker has support for archives, packages, and classes.
* Report attributes can be toggled on or off
* Walking across classlist elements can be done in several different ways:
o Deep (default) - recursively follow all paths
o Shallow - recursively follow paths up to and including a boundary element
o System - recursively follow paths up to a boundary element which is not part of the deployment, but is provided by a server or environment.

CAP is a plugin for the eclipse platform and analysis the dependencies of your Java project. It opens a own perspective and displays the results in an clear way using different diagrams.
