Method Detail

• getPrecedingDependencies

  List<Dependency> getPrecedingDependencies()

  Gets the dependencies that lead to the first dependency on the cycle, starting from the root of the dependency graph.

  Returns:

  The (read-only) sequence of dependencies that precedes the cycle in the graph, potentially empty but never null.

• getCyclicDependencies

  List<Dependency> getCyclicDependencies()

  Gets the dependencies that actually form the cycle. For example, a -> b -> c -> a, i.e. the last dependency in this sequence duplicates the first element and closes the cycle. Hence the length of the cycle is the size of the returned sequence minus 1.

  Returns:

  The (read-only) sequence of dependencies that forms the cycle, never null.
