If speed is not an issue, you can use BCEL's verifier to recursively 
descend a class hierarchy starting from a root object.
I've also used jikes in the past, to compile java.lang.Object and let it 
drag in all the dependencies automatically. It mostly works, as far as I 
recall. It's a rather quick way to figure out the 'resident size' of 
your class library.
