[jboss-dev] Dependencies in JBossAS

[Mladen Turk]

I have one other question (probably related)

Can we have a dependency tree?
I would like to see what component is dependent on what
component (jar, version, etc...)

Anyone knows if there is some tool for discovering that,
and I'll create a graph or even a simple database
with updatability per version/tag.

I know this is boring thing, but I have never
saw how JBossAS actually 'looks like' on paper.
(If you don't count marketing slides from Shaun :)

Regards,
Mladen.
