I don't really see when I would use the this. When I have JAR with unknown contents and I want to see version and dependencies of it?

At a guess, may be useful when: * Working with old enterprise libraries ("just use the jar!") * Optimisation when dealing with a compile to JVM language like Closure or Scala * Research, such as reverse engineering badly behaved jars.

Not really sure why this would be helpful only with Scala in this case. Scala is not transpiled, it's compiled directly to bytecode just like Java so if it was helpful with Scala it should be helpful with Java as well.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can click on the demo link http://graffiti.gaurs.io/downloadDemo ; This points to already processed commons-lang3-3.5.jar

You should host the unzip html pages of the example on your : no effort for user to see what it's look like

Thanks for the feedback. Point taken. Will surely look into it.

Some time ago I've started a maven-storyteller-plugin (a version can be found here: https://github.com/highsource/storyteller-maven-plugin ). This plugin was intended to solve a simple task: given a Maven project, which dependencies do you really need and which not? What can (or should) you remove or exclude? maven-storyteller-pluging analyzed the dependency structure of the project (JARs), dependencies of classes, b…

Kickstarter anyone?
