# Module jdk.jdeps

module jdk.jdeps
Defines tools for analysing dependencies in Java libraries and programs, including the jdeps, javap, jdeprscan, and jnativescan tools.

This module provides the equivalent of command-line access to the javap, jdeps, and jnativescan tools via the `ToolProvider` service provider interface (SPI)

Instances of the tools can be obtained by calling `ToolProvider.findFirst` or the service loader with the name `"javap"` or `"jdeps"` as appropriate.

jdeprscan only exists as a command line tool, and does not provide any direct API.
