Check dependencies on libraries

To check if a jar file depends on other jar files, you must create a JarDependencies, and then use one of the several methods which allow to check if this library depends on other libraries, the Swing or JavaFX framerwork, or several packages.

Check dependencies on another library

To check the dependency of your jar file on another jar file, you lmsut create associated JarDependencies and use one of the following methods:

• The JarDependencies.isDependingOn(JarDependencies) method return true if the jar file depends on the other jar file
• The JarDependencies.dependenciesFrom(JarDependencies) method return the dependencies on the other jar file

For example:

   JarDependencies depend = new JarDependencies(<myJarFile>);
   JarDependencies anotherDepend = new JarDependencies(<aSecondJarFile>);
   boolean isDependingOn = depend.isDependingOn(anotherDepend);

Excluding classes

It is possible to exclude classes from the check by using the following method:

• The JarDependencies.isDependingOn(JarDependencies, Set) method return true if the jar file depends on the other jar file, excluding several classes by their classpath

Check dependencies on a set of packages

The DependencyChecker check if a Jar file or a JarDependencies has dependencies to a set of packages.

For example:

   Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();
   set.add("java.util");
   DependencyChecker checker = new DependencyChecker();
   boolean dependsOn = checker.check(<myJarFile>, set);

Check dependencies on Swing or JavaFX

To check the dependency of your jar file on Swing or JavaFX, use:

• The DependencyUtilities.dependOnSwing(JarDependencies) method return true if the jar file depends on Swing
• The DependencyUtilities.dependOnJavaFX(JarDependencies) method return true if the jar file depends on JavaFX

For example:

   JarDependencies depend = new JarDependencies(<myJarFile>);
   boolean isDependingOnSwing = DependencyUtilities.dependOnSwing(depend);
   boolean isDependingOnJavaFX = DependencyUtilities.dependOnJavaFX(depend);

Excluding classes

It is possible to exclude classes from the check by using one of the following methods:

• The DependencyUtilities.dependOnSwing(JarDependencies, Set) method return true if the jar file depends on Swing, excluding several classes by their classpath
• The DependencyUtilities.dependOnJavaFX(JarDependencies, Set) method return true if the jar file depends on JavaFX, excluding several classes by their classpath

For example:

   JarDependencies depend = new JarDependencies(<myJarFile>);
   Set<String> set = new HashSet<>
   set.add("java.awt.geom.Arc2D");
   set.add("java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D");      
   boolean isDependingOnSwing = DependencyUtilities.dependOnSwing(depend, set);
