JBoss Tattletale - a jar file dependency utility

JBoss colleague Jesper Pedersen built a very useful utility for discovering jar file interdependencies, JBoss Tattletale.

In his own words:

The tool will provide you with reports that can help you

• Identify dependencies between JAR files
• Find missing classes from the classpath
• Spot if a class is located in multiple JAR files
• Spot if the same JAR file is located in multiple locations
• Identify JAR file versions
• With a list of what each JAR file requires and provides
• Verify the SerialVersionUID of a class
