Using DependencyValidationManager to Get Required Classes

Hello Mike,

ForwardDependencyBuilder works in Analyze Dependency action. Seems that it
is your case.

DependnecyValidatorManager allows to retrieve user-defined scopes and configured
rules.

Thank you.

I want to be able to determine all the classes that are used by a file
and/or package of files and then I want to determine what jars that
are in the classpath the needed classes are in.

I was wondering if I could use DependencyValidationManager to do this
or would there be something else?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Anna,

However I don't see ForwardDependencyBuilder class in the openapi? Where do I get this class and can I create a plugin using it?

Hello Mike,

You need to add idea.jar to your Idea JDK in order to find com.intellij.packageDependencies.ForwardDependenciesBuilder.

Hope it helps.

Thank you

Okay I will try that. Just a question though, is this allowed as far as developing plugins that use idea.jar directly? Is there any example code using this class that I could look at?

Thanks

Hello Mike,

I do not think that we will change api here in next releases so it must be
quite safe.

I am afraid that there are no examples ... but your questions are always
welcome

Thank you
