This project is a software analyzer designed to identify modules in object-oriented applications, create a coupling graph, and transform the results into a dendrogram using JDT and Spoon.

• Java 17 or OpenJDK 17

If OpenJDK 17 is not installed, you can install it using the following commands:

sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk

brew install openjdk@17

After installation, verify the installation:

java -version

Download the project as a .zip file from the GitHub repository and extract it to your desired location.

Navigate to the directory where the software-comprehension.jar file is located. Then, run the analyzer using the following command:

java -jar software-comprehension.jar

The analyzer will prompt you to enter the path to the project you wish to analyze. You can use the sample project located in resources/LibraryManagement by entering its path:

Please provide the project path you want to work on: resources/LibraryManagement

Next, provide the path to your JDK. You can retrieve this path with:

echo $JAVA_HOME

Then, enter the path in the analyzer prompt:

Please provide the JDK path: /path/to/your/jdk
