Answer from AI

For analyzing and visualizing dependency hierarchies in Java projects, the following tools are often used:

  • Maven Dependency Plugin — allows you to output the project's dependency tree, identify conflicts and duplicates.
  • Gradle Dependency Insight — similar to Maven, for Gradle projects.
  • JDepend — analyzes dependencies between packages and classes, helps identify cycles.
  • Structure101 — visualization of architecture and dependencies.
  • SonarQube — code analysis with dependency and metric visualization.

For visualization of hierarchies, graphic tools like Graphviz can be used, integrating with dependency output.

Example of dependency tree output in Maven:

mvn dependency:tree
