Inspiration - IntelliJ Dependency Structure Matrix

[pbadenski]

This is not a feature neither a bug request, but more of an inspiration ticket ;)

Dependency cruiser is really cool and I've been missing of a similar project for a while. I have been a user and enormous fan of IntelliJ DSM feature back in Java universe: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/dsm-tool-window.html

@pbadenski that certainly looks interesting - a bit like the html reporter, but on steroids.

I see the dsm-tool-window has several features:

• expandable hierarchy
• sorted from least used to most used
• on selection (& highlighting) of a cel (A=>B), automatically select the reverse cell as well (B => A)
• a novel way to highlight circular dependencies

What helped you most when you used it on java code?

[pbadenski]

@sverweij definitely expandable hierarchy, it shines as the project grows beyond 10k LOC. I personally used it on over 1M LOC, was extremely useful
