I generally wouldn't want to use such tools in any code for which you don't
have intimate knowledge because java allows lots of dynamic behaviour wrt class
loading. I can do:
Class.forName("com.foo.Foo")
without having to import com.foo.Foo, so a dependency analysis based on imports
will fail to add com.foo.Foo.class to the jar.
