Differences between Jdeps and Jdeprscan tools in Java 9?
Jdeps tool can be used to analyze the dependencies of our classes. The running of the "jdeps -jdkinternals jararchive.jar" command prints a list of all classes that use Java internal API. Jdeps tool returns a detailed description of the dependencies while Jdeprscan is another useful tool particularly used in combination with the "-for-removal" flag. This tool shows us all uses of deprecated API by a given jar archive, and only deprecated uses of jdk methods can be shown and can't use this tool to check for deprecation in third party jar.
Jdeps tool:
- "jdeps" is a class dependency analyzer tool can be used for package level and class level dependencies.
- "jdeps class_file" command prints package-level dependencies of a given class file.
- "jdeps -verbose" command prints class-level dependencies.
- "jdeps jar_file" command prints package-level dependencies of a given jar file.
- "jdeps --inverse --require module_name" command prints package level reverse dependencies of a given java module.
In the below, we can use "jdeps --help" command to see a complete list of options.
C:\Users\user>jdeps --help Usage: jdeps <options> <path ...>] <path> can be a pathname to a .class file, a directory, a JAR file. Possible options include: -dotoutput <dir> --dot-output <dir> Destination directory for DOT file output -s -summary Print dependency summary only. -v -verbose Print all class level dependences Equivalent to -verbose:class -filter:none. -verbose:package Print package-level dependences excluding dependences within the same package by default -verbose:class Print class-level dependences excluding dependences within the same package by default -apionly --api-only Restrict analysis to APIs i.e. dependences from the signature of public and protected members of public classes including field type, method parameter types, returned type, checked exception types etc. -jdkinternals --jdk-internals Finds class-level dependences on JDK internal APIs. By default, it analyzes all classes on --class-path and input files unless -include option is specified. This option cannot be used with -p, -e and -s options. WARNING: JDK internal APIs are inaccessible. --check <module-name>[,<module-name>... Analyze the dependence of the specified modules It prints the module descriptor, the resulting module dependences after analysis and the graph after transition reduction. It also identifies any unused qualified exports. --generate-module-info <dir> Generate module-info.java under the specified directory. The specified JAR files will be analyzed. This option cannot be used with --dot-output or --class-path. Use --generate-open-module option for open modules. --generate-open-module <dir> Generate module-info.java for the specified JAR files under the specified directory as open modules. This option cannot be used with --dot-output or --class-path. --list-deps Lists the dependences and use of JDK internal APIs. --list-reduced-deps Same as --list-deps with not listing the implied reads edges from the module graph If module M1 depends on M2 and M3, M2 requires public on M3, then M1 reading M3 is implied and removed from the module graph. -cp <path> -classpath <path> --class-path <path> Specify where to find class files --module-path <module path> Specify module path --upgrade-module-path <module path> Specify upgrade module path --system <java-home> Specify an alternate system module path --add-modules <module-name>[,<module-name>...] Adds modules to the root set for analysis -m <module-name> --module <module-name> Specify the root module for analysis --multi-release <version> Specifies the version when processing multi-release jar files. should be integer >= 9 or base. Options to filter dependences: -p <pkg> -package <pkg> --package <pkg> Finds dependences matching the given package name (may be given multiple times). -e <regex> -regex <regex> --regex <regex> Finds dependences matching the given pattern. --require <module-name> Finds dependences matching the given module name (may be given multiple times). --package, --regex, --require are mutual exclusive. -f <regex> -filter <regex> Filter dependences matching the given pattern. If given multiple times, the last one will be used. -filter:package Filter dependences within the same package. This is the default. -filter:archive Filter dependences within the same archive. -filter:module Filter dependences within the same module. -filter:none No -filter:package and -filter:archive filtering. Filtering specified via the -filter option still applies. Options to filter classes to be analyzed: -include <regex> Restrict analysis to classes matching pattern This option filters the list of classes to be analyzed. It can be used together with -p and -e which apply pattern to the dependences -P -profile Show profile containing a package -R -recursive Recursively traverse all run-time dependences. The -R option implies -filter:none. If -p, -e, -f option is specified, only the matching dependences are analyzed. -I --inverse Analyzes the dependences per other given options and then find all artifacts that directly and indirectly depend on the matching nodes. This is equivalent to the inverse of compile-time view analysis and print dependency summary. This option must use with --require, --package or --regex option. --compile-time Compile-time view of transitive dependences i.e. compile-time view of -R option. Analyzes the dependences per other given options If a dependence is found from a directory, a JAR file or a module, all c*lasses in that containing archive are analyzed. -q - quiet Do not show missing dependences from --generate-module-info output. -version --version Version information
jdeprscan tool:
- "jdeprscan" is a Java Deprecated API Scanner tool that can be used to scan deprecated API elements.
- "jdeprscan class_file" command scans for deprecated APIs of a givenjJava class file.
- "jdeprscan jar_file" command scans for deprecated APIs of a given jar file.
- "jdeprscan --release X" command scans for deprecated APIs of a specific JDK release.
- "jdeprscan --list --release X" command lists all deprecated APIs of a specific JDK release.
In the below, we can use the "jdeprscan --help" command to see a complete list of options.
C:\Users\User>jdeprscan --help
Usage: jdeprscan [options] {dir|jar|class} ...
options:
--class-path PATH
--for-removal
--full-version
-h --help
-l --list
--release 6|7|8|9
-v --verbose
--version
Scans each argument for usages of deprecated APIs. An argument may be a directory specifying the root of a package hierarchy,
a JAR file, a class file, or a class name. The class name must be specified using a fully qualified class name using the $ separator
character for nested classes, for example,
java.lang.Thread$State
The --class-path option provides a search path for resolution of dependent classes.
The --for-removal option limits scanning or listing to APIs that are
deprecated for removal. Cannot be used with a release value of 6, 7, or 8.
The --full-version option prints out the full version string of the tool.
The --help option prints out a full help message.
The --list (-l) option prints out the set of deprecated APIs. No scanning is done,
so no directory, jar, or class arguments should be provided.
The --release option specifies the Java SE release that provides the set of deprecated APIs for scanning.
The --verbose (-v) option enables additional message output during processing.
The --version option prints out the abbreviated version string of the tool.
