Features

searchLibraryConnections Task

• Primary Goal: Analyzing connections of a transitive dependency:
  • Find root library (direct library dependency / first-level library dependency of a project) - containing the transitive dependency - that is used directly by a project.
  • Find projects that are using the found root dependencies directly.
• Secondary objectives:
  • Display all unique dependencies in ascending order.
  • Display dependency graph statistics.
  • Display circular dependencies.

---

Usage

You must call this gradle task with the lib parameter, giving it the {groupId}:{name}:{version} library identifier.

Optional flag parameters are:

• list: Display all unique dependencies in name order.
• stats: Display the node and connection count in the dependency graph.
• circular: Display circular dependency chains.
