NetBeans 7 dependency graph (unused class/method)

Question

Is there a way to create a dependency graph for classes and/or methods of Java SE projects within NetBeans 7? I have a very large project and I'd like to clean up unused classes or methods (and a dependency graph would also be useful).

The "center" of the graph would be the main() entry point of main classes I invoke, and adjacencies would be method calls (including some Swing framework methods to classes which override the Java Swing framework).

Answer 1

That's weird, when I right click on a project in NetBeans 7.0.1 I can choose "Show dependency graph" and it shows me a dependency graph, complete with conflicts and everything!

Answer 2

if you want method dependency (calll hirearchy) viewer, it is descripted: http://netbeans.dzone.com/announcements/new-class-visualization-module

in plugin manager add update center: http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/dev/uc/final/main/catalog.xml.gz and http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastStableBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz

now you can install

Graphical Class View

you can invoke right click to method -> graphical view,

is it ? Jirka
