I tried the Dependency Analyzer. First a minor point, it wasn't obvious how to invoke it. I expected to see "Dependency Analyzer" in the tools but its not there. I think I correctly guessed it was "Package Dependencies Browser", but it would be better to match the catalog name. The sample dependency I looked at from bootstrap-dependency-report.html was Collections-Streams --> Tool-Transcript which seems to be due to only single method "Generator class>>examplePrimes". So should this be coloured orange by marking it in #ignoredDependencies ? Also, even though Collections-Streams --> Transcript is not highlighted red nor orange, this dependency also seems due only to "Generator class>>examplePrimes" cheers -ben
