Dependency mapping?

Is there any sort of plugin that can go through an entire project and trace the class dependencies?
IE Class1 depends on Class2 and Class3, Class3 depends on java.util.Something, etc. etc.
Or does this exist as a general java tool?

I bring it up, as it is also what I am looking for.

Klaus Wuestefeld and I wrote a graphical dependency browser called Bela Vista just before OOPSLA. We are polishing it up for general audiences. We could polish faster if we had a source of development funds :-)/2

Kent, I think I'll be seeing wet dreams about that tool
I recently google'd around for such a (free) tool with no success.
