i have a few application context files for an application. I want to view graphically the dependencies between them.

The Spring Tool Suite has an editor (Spring Config Editor) to edit the spring context xml files. This Editor can also draw a diagram of the beans (the tab "Beans Graph" of that editor -- see the image below.).

When I remember right, then this functionality is also included in the Eclipse Spring IDE Plugin.

There's also the Spring Bean Doc project, although it's a bit long-in-the-tooth. I have not used it with Spring 3, so I can't speak for its efficacy for recent versions.
