Here is some graphical output obtained by running CheckDep over some
sample java projects:
Analyzing Dependency Changes
The following figures produced by CheckDep demonstrates the dependency
changes in a local
refactoring performed to a java project called "CPAChecker". The
refactoring started in the
revision 572, and was completed by revision 574. The two revisions of
the CPAChecker project
were checked out and compiled using CheckDep (how?)
and then the dependencies of these
revisions were extracted and compared against each other by pressing
the "Extract Button", and
ultimately using "Visualize Button" the graphical output was displayed
in the "Display Tab":
Figure 1.1 - The full view of the
merged method-call graphs of the two revisions
Figure 1.2 - The detailed view inside
the zoom-in rectangle of the previous figure (Figure 1.1)
Figure 1.3 - A closer look
Figure 1.4 - A closeup shot
Analyzing the Dependency Structure of A Single Project
By supplying CheckDep with only a single java project, the dependency
structure of that project
can be viewed. In other words, there will be no comparison between the
dependency
graphs of two separate projects (revisions).
In the following figures, the "Type Hierarchy" (inheritance graph) of
the "CPAChecker" project
is under inspection:

Hierachy Graph (Inheritance Graph)

Subsystem's Type Hierachy
