java - How to list dependencies of a JAR

Question

is there a tool that can list third party "packages" that contain (third party) classes referenced in the JAR ? Let say that it would recognize what is "home" package from JAR file definition and it would print out a list of fully qualified names of third party classes up to 3rd level that were referenced within the JAR.

org.apache.commons  
org.apache.maven
javax.servlet.jsp
org.eclipse.persistence
org.apache.jackrabbit

the purpose is that I need to find maven dependencies for that JAR file and deploy it as a maven artifact.
