Thanks! However I have also jars which are using JavaFX on which I will use the tool against !

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.
