Discussed this with several people ahead of this PR. That is something we might want to do in the future, but we want this scanning feature to be ready for the JNI restriction, which is proposed to target Java 24.

Other work might include unifying the code bases of `jdeprscan`, `jdeps`, and exposing a general purpose static-analysis API.
