I have a huge Java Application with numerous packages. Some of the classes in these packages have dependency on classes in other packages. Given a class, I want to know all the dependent classes on it and vice-versa. A GUI tool should be really helpful.
A dependency is another package that your package needs in order to work. Dependencies are specified in your pubspec. You list only immediate dependencies—the software that your package uses directly.
Basically a package is a pack with some features which fullfills some functionality of your app. Once you install any package using npm then the package is installed as a dependency in your app inside your package.
The dependencies in your project's package. json allow the project to install the versions of the modules it depends on. By running an install command inside a project, you can install all of the dependencies listed in the project's package.
A dependency is defined as a file, component, or software package that a program needs to work correctly. Almost every software package we install depends on another piece of code or software to work as expected.
There's some useful tools described here for the (free) Eclipse IDE. There's also more info on dependency tools with a comparison against depfinder here.
CDA - Class Dependency Analyzer is incredibly simple to use, and can help you visualize those dependencies between packages and classes.
I would also recommend Eclipse as there are various plugins for this task. For example ispace which can create a graphical representation of the package dependencies.
I general the Source code analyzer section of eclipse's market place has more plugins in that direction.
