Constructor Detail

DependencyChecker

public DependencyChecker(Analyser analyser,
                 String dependencyDefinition,
                 Map properties,
                 ResultRenderer renderer)

Creates a new instance. Note, that the constructor does not create the graph. It only parses dependencyDefinition as a preprocessing step. The calculation of the graph is done in check(PrintWriter).

Parameters:

analyser - Analyzer instance.

dependencyDefinition - Description (as read from a .ddf file) of the dependencies to be checked.

renderer - Output renderer for unwanted dependencies found.

main

public static void main(String[] args)

Runs the DependencyChecker application. Exit 0 if no unwanted dependency found otherwise 1 is returned.
