JDepend, a free open source tool:
   http://mojo.codehaus.org/jdepend-maven-plugin/
   http://clarkware.com/software/JDepend.html
I can put this into the maven pom if you like.

Since Jersey is an open source project you can also look into using
Structure 101:

Here's what it generates for a large project like Spring:

For the immediate future I would use JDepend as it is easy to setup.
