Hi Mandy,
Regarding the command line arguments of jdeps, would it not be more consistent
to re-use the same classpath related arguments as javac/java/javap/javah
"-c" becomes "-cp"
"--classpath" becomes "-classpath"
?
jdeps follows the GNU-style options which is different than the JDK
style. We discussed this issue about consistency and familiarity [1].
After using jdeps for some time, I admit that I find it hard to switch
to the new -c short option (and confusing too) but relatively easy to
move to --classpath option. Mixing both GNU-style and JDK-style
inconsistently adopting GNU style is not a good thing while GNU style is
the direction we are going (e.g. pack200 follows GNU style).

This adds jdeps --format=dot option to print the output in dot-style format

Webrev at:

This also extends --verbose option to take an optional argument ("class" and
"package") to replace the --verbose-level option and cleans up PlatformClassPath to use
java.nio.file.
thanks
