Tattletale analyzes Java classes in archives (JAR, WAR, RAR, EAR) and builds HTML reports that
- Identify runtime (bytecode) dependencies between archives on a class/package level
- Find missing classes from the classpath
- Spot if a class/package is located in multiple archives
- Spot if the same archive is located in different places
- List what each archive requires and provides
- Verify the SerialVersionUID of a class
- Find similar archives that have different version numbers
- Find archives without a (valid) version number
- Find unused archives
- Identify sealed/signed archives
- Locate a class in an archive
- Show the OSGi status of your project
- Identify blacklisted API usage
