Alan - thanks for the feedback. I have made several changes to the jdeps tool. Here is the new webrev at:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mchung/jdk8/webrevs/8003562/langtools-webrev.01/ I'll send out a formal code review request once I add the new unit tests. I like the name of the tool, and I think the new proposed options looks much better.

The only option that I suspect might confuse people is -d, I'm not sure that this is really needed.

A minor observation but I wonder if -v/--verbose should be something else. The sub-options are good, it's just that -v is really is selecting the level that the dependencies are printed (and -v:summary is less verbose than the default).

Otherwise I think this will be really useful to have.

-Alan,
