class ExtractDependencies
extends DotClass with Phase

This phase sends information on classes' dependencies to sbt via callbacks.

This is used by sbt for incremental recompilation. Briefly, when a file changes sbt will recompile it, if its API has changed (determined by what ExtractAPI sent) then sbt will determine which reverse-dependencies (determined by what ExtractDependencies sent) of the API have to be recompiled depending on what changed.

See the documentation of ExtractDependenciesCollector, ExtractAPI, ExtractAPICollector and http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Understanding-Recompilation.html for more information on how sbt incremental compilation works.

The following flags affect this phase: -Yforce-sbt-phases -Ydump-sbt-inc
