Two interesting suggestion that came up during the gt2 meeting to reduce 
visual clutter:
- reverse engineer dependencies only from public/protected methods, 
avoid private ones
- don't depict dependencies among classes in the same package, they are 
supposed to be related
   anyway.

If I implemented those, would you be happy of generating gt2 javadoc 
this way, maybe just as
an option for automated builds? (I really believe the diagrams would 
help newbies a lot, and also
developers too, raise your hand if you think you know well the whole 
source code base :-) )
