All Implemented Interfaces:: HasDescription, HasSourceCodeLocation, java.lang.Comparable<Dependency>

public class Dependency
extends java.lang.Object
implements HasDescription, java.lang.Comparable<Dependency>, HasSourceCodeLocation

Represents a dependency of one Java class on another Java class. Such a dependency can occur by either of the following:

a class accesses a field of another class
a class calls a method of another class
a class calls a constructor of another class
a class inherits from another class (which is in fact a special case of constructor call)
a class implements an interface
a class has a field with type of another class
a class has a method/constructor with parameter/return type of another class

Note that a Dependency will by definition never be a self-reference, i.e. origin will never be equal to target.
