jdeps: Print a summary of all dependencies of a specific `.jar` file.
$ jdeps ${filenamename-jar} -summary
try on your machine

The command "jdeps" is a tool provided by Java Development Kit (JDK) that analyzes the dependencies of a Java application or module. It helps to identify which classes and packages are being used or depended upon by the specified Java archive file (.jar).

In the command, "${filename-jar}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the .jar file you want to analyze. The "-summary" option is used to provide a summary report of the dependencies.

So, when you run the command "jdeps ${filename-jar} -summary", it will analyze the specified .jar file and generate a summary report that shows the dependencies of the classes and packages used in the application/module contained within the .jar file.
