State of the Maven/Java dependency graph

So here it comes, the second part of a three part articles on dependencies in different world, the first part was about Python/PyPi dependencies and considering the size of the graph : 20661 Nodes, 14047 Edges,  I was able to show you the graph in an interactive javascript app using SigmaJS. But this times it's different, after extracting the metadata from Maven repositories, the raw data file generated weights 273M, and the size of the whole directed dependency graph is 186 384 Nodes and 1 229 083 Edges, in other words, it's going to be tough to show you the whole graph interactively but the raw data, the graph file and the Gephi file are available on the GitHub project.
