JCyclic Introduction

This API provides a simple a mechanism for finding cyclic dependencies in you classpath.

Usage

The basic usage is this:

1. Instantiate something that can find your classes. Either:

• DirectoryFinder
• ClasspathFinder

2. Instantiate ClassDependencies with that 'class finder' and a base package.
3. Now you can query the results.

@Test
public void testForPackageCyclicDependencies() {
    ClassFinder finder = new DirectoryFinder(new File("build/classes/main"));
    ClassDependencies classDependencies = new ClassDependencies(classFinder, "se.cyclic.jcyclic");

    // Analyse the package and class graph
    Set<String> cycles = classDependencies.getPackagesInCycles();
    List<List<String>> cycles = classDependencies.getPackageCycles();
}
