Hi Jonathan,
thank you for your effort.
Note however, that the output of the current version of jdeps may be
incomplete.
See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8077349 Update jdeps to
recognize JavaFX internal packages,
which seems not to be fixed yet.

Hi folks,
I've written a tool that analyses the output of JDeps. This allows for
me to quickly understand what com.sun.* APIs are being used by
projects. It basically just gives a tally of each com.sun.* class that
is being used, given a directory of files that are output from JDeps
(where each file is the output from running JDeps against a single jar
file). The more of these JDeps text files I have, the more data I can
have about what APIs are being (ab)used.
Also, before I go further, lets try to keep this simple - I'd rather
not have this discussion get political about the merits of modularity,
choosing which APIs are most important, etc, etc, etc! I'm just a
lowly engineer trying to make things as good as I can for you all. The
remainder of the political discussion can start in ~2 weeks when I'm
on vacation ;-)
If you want to give me more data, please do the following from your
computer, and then email me (off-list!) the resulting text file. My
example command line instruction is what I run against Scene Builder,
but please don't send me the output against your Scene Builder jar - I
want to know what the output is against your projects.
Here's the command line instruction (for my Windows 8 machine, your
mileage may vary):
jdeps -v SceneBuilder-8.0.0.jar > SceneBuilder-8.0.0.txt
Send me (again, off-list!) the resulting text file. I don't want your
jar files or anything else, I don't think my inbox could handle it :-)
Thanks,
-- Jonathan
