Working with dependency analysis

Hello softwarevisualization,

One of the great features of 7 is the dependency analysis matrix.
Probably, there's an internal API that is used to create it.
Hopefully, when it's ready, OpenAPI developers will have access to
that API.

In the meantime, we have the great example of
com.sixrr.metrics.dependency. The techniques there to analyze
dependencies appear to me to revolve around the PSI.

I am wondering if this is not also the way that the DSM is created, or
is there some more efficient technique used by the DSM to analyze
dependencies.

Is that right- all dependency analysis ultimately falls back on the
PSI?

The DSM doesn't use the PSI for performance reasons. It analyzes the compiled
.class files directly.
