Cool, user interface.

However, you do not detect two other important static dependencies:

- Package A subclasses a class of package B.
- Package A extends a class of package B.

We are using a similar tool to package Seaside. Unfortunately it has
no GUI, but we are using GraphViz zu visualize the dependencies [1].

Have a look at Package-Dependencies in
<http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/unsorted>. It automatically calculates
cycles and is able to hide transitive dependencies. It would be
interesting to extend it further to also take selectors into account,
that are only implemented in a single package.

There are other tools available: MudPie [2] and Moose [3].

Cheers,
Lukas
