Alan, Ulf,

I updated the jdeps CLI per the discussion we had.

$ jdeps --help Usage: jdeps <classes...> where can be a pathname to a .class file, a directory, a JAR file, or a fully-qualified classname or wildcard "*". Possible options include: -s --summary Print dependency summary only -v --verbose Print additional information -V --verbose-level= Print package-level or class-level dependencies Valid levels are: "package" and "class" -c --classpath= Specify where to find class files -p --package= Restrict analysis to classes in this package (may be given multiple times) -e --regex= Restrict analysis to packages matching pattern (-p and -e are exclusive) -P --profile Show profile or the file containing a package -R --recursive Recursively traverse all dependencies --version Version information

Updated webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mchung/jdk8/webrevs/jdeps/webrev.06/

jdeps only support GNU-style options. I added java.util.function and com.sun.source.doctree in the jdk.properties. I'll replace it to use the proper javac API to work with profiles next. I caught a typo 'com.sunsource.doctree' (missing dot) in NON_CORE_PKGS.gmk and I fix that in this patch.

We can enhance the tool after the initial push. I'd like to get it in jdk8 soon so that developers can try it out and give feedback.

Thanks Mandy
