1Z0-811 Exception Handling and Development Tools Practice Question
Which TWO of the following development tools are specifically designed to analyze module dependencies or create custom runtime images?
⚠ Common exam trap
Oracle often tests the distinction between tools that operate on source code (javac, javadoc) versus tools that operate on compiled artifacts and modules (jdeps, jlink), leading candidates to mistakenly associate 'dependency analysis' with the compiler or documentation generator.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
jdeps
The jdeps tool (option A) is a Java class dependency analyzer that examines class files or JARs to identify module-level dependencies, including transitive dependencies, and can suggest module dependencies for migration to the Java module system. The jlink tool (option B) is a Java linker that assembles and optimizes a set of modules and their dependencies into a custom runtime image, allowing you to create a minimal JRE tailored to your application.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
jdeps
Why this is correct
jdeps analyzes class and module dependencies, helping to determine required modules.
- ✓
jlink
Why this is correct
jlink assembles and optimizes a set of modules into a custom runtime image.
- ✗
jar
Why it's wrong here
jar creates and manages JAR archives; it does not analyze dependencies.
- ✗
javadoc
Why it's wrong here
javadoc generates API documentation from source code comments.
- ✗
javac
Why it's wrong here
javac compiles Java source files; it does not analyze dependencies or create runtime images.
