Hello,
with the help of http://versioneye.de, you can have a look at the compile and runtime dependencies of the jboss-as project (on GitHub). It is based on parsing the POMs. There are currently some minor glitches which need to be fixed in versioneye (to understand recursive property expansion for example), nevertheless the overview is quite interesting:

71 of 424 Dependencies are Outdated
Greetings
