Finding Jar external references

[John Smith]

Is it possible to find all the external references classes and methods in a
jar file. I have a file and I want to find out what other jars etc it needs
without having to run it and see what fails.

Many Thanks

Theoretically it is impossible because
it depends on ClassLoader behaviour at run-time.

I do this by compiling with Jet, whether I want the resulting EXE or
not.
