+JavaDeps - Automatic Dependency Tracking for Java
+
+Tracking dependencies amongst a group of source files is always a chore.
+With Java it's even worse: source files may be mutually-dependent, and
+make doesn't deal with this situation at all!
+
+JavaDeps is a tool to generate dependency rules for Java sources, inspired
+by the "-MM" flag of gcc. This program analyzes a set of java source
+files, and outputs their dependencies, along with makefile rules to build
+the resulting classes.
