DependencyViewer - A Tool for Visualizing Package Design Quality Metrics

DependencyViewer helps to control package dependencies to avoid degeneration of package designs. To this end it computes design quality metrics including stabilabstractness for each Java package and draws the package graph in a way, such that violations of various design principles are immediately visible. In addition DependencyViewer provides several features to inspect the packages at various levels of details including at the level of source code.
