What are some tools to visualize the dependency hierarchy of Java modules?

Since I've been using Module Imports with the new JEP 511: Module Import Declarations, I'm curious about how to visualize the overall structure of different Java modules. For instance, while `java.desktop` and `java.compiler` are separate and only depend on `java.base`, `java.se` encompasses both of them. I want a way to see the complete hierarchy instead of looking at each module individually or scrolling through Javadocs. It would be awesome to have a tool for that, preferably with a graphical display, but a clear hierarchy view would do just fine!

If you're using Gradle, there's a built-in task that lets you view your project dependencies, which could help you visualize how everything connects.

You can actually find a lot of tutorials and images by just Googling for Java module dependencies. There's also a tool called Jdeps that can generate a DOT file, which you can use with Graphviz to create diagrams of the hierarchy.
