How to get all dependency jars from build.xml

Question

I have several very big ant build.xml files. Someone know tool or program for get all dependency jar files from build.xml ?

Answer 1

Please check How To Check Dependencies Between Jar Files?.

http://www.jboss.org/tattletale or jdepend could help in getting dependencies between jars.

If you want to extract dependencies from a given build.xml , one option is to write XML parser and process ant file. Not an easy task. Another option will be write a listener for each build task. If the task is javac then query its classpath.
