Description

dr elephant compiles to a single big jar. It will help if this jar is broken into independent ones - dr-elephant, heuristics and fetchers.
One advantage is that fetchers and heuristics can be reused to build other complex systems.
Second one is that they can be driven by an API. API will help in using heuristics before the UI is ready. It will also help in supporting other interesting visualizations or UX.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's build configuration and how the current single jar is assembled. Define the boundaries of the dr-elephant, heuristics, and fetchers artifacts, then verify that the existing application still packages and runs while heuristics remain reusable through an API.
