Understanding the com.sun.* APIs being (ab)used by the community

[Phil Race]

I can't speak for Jonathan on that point but if you find you are using
something not on the list at the URL below, you may want to ask
on the appropriate list what would be a suitable replacement

https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/JDK8/Java+Dependency+Analysis+Tool

Note that sometimes it can be out of your immediate control when you
find its a 3rd party jar you import that has the dependency and then you
would probably want to notify the authors of that code.

It basically just gives a tally of each com.sun.* class that is being used, given a directory of files that are output from JDeps (where each file is the output from running JDeps against a single jar file). The more of these JDeps text files I have, the more data I can have about what APIs are being (ab)used.

I'm just a lowly engineer trying to make things as good as I can for you all. The remainder of the political discussion can start in ~2 weeks when I'm on vacation ;-)

My example command line instruction is what I run against Scene Builder, but please don't send me the output against your Scene Builder jar - I want to know what the output is against your projects.
