Is there any plugins I can use for Eclipse that will show graphical view of classes dependencies?

    use or not use maven is not relating to generating dependency graph using eclipse. i just wanna show view of how each java files related to another – cometta Jun 17 '09 at 07:08
  • Not an eclipse plugin, but if external tools are interesting as well you might want to watch degraph https://github.com/schauder/degraph (disclaimer I am the author) – Jens Schauder Feb 03 '13 at 14:40

Classycle can be a good start (for static dependencies between classes at least)

(I find their graph a bit complicated to follow though : CDA - Class Dependency Analyzer is an external tool, but produce much more readable dependency graphs)

  • I sure like your product (+1) but haven't fully evaluated it yet for my work (since it is not freeware) – VonC Jun 17 '09 at 16:23
  • Site is down in 2019. https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/nwire-java-code-exploration-visualization is this the correct tool ? – Poutrathor Jan 23 '19 at 09:50

I find ispace => http://ispace.stribor.de/ ideal for showing circular dependencies etc. Tip: do a project clean after every major refactor to get it to update the graphs.
