MaintainJ to generate UML diagrams from Java files
Markus said:
I'm looking for a free tool which can generate at least class and sequence diagrams form my java sources. Does anybody know such a tool (or eclipse plugin)?

Markus,
You should check
MaintainJ. MaintainJ is exactly the tool you are looking for.
MaintainJ, an Eclipse plug-in, generates runtime UML sequence and class diagrams for a use case. MaintainJ is the tool to turn to when :
- You want to find out what exactly happens in the system when you run a use case.
- You need to quickly understand large, complex Java code.
- You want to reduce the maintenance costs by more than 20%.
MaintainJ is different from any reverse engineering tools you have seen before.
Forget Static Reverse Engineering - Static time UML diagrams can take you only so far. Only runtime diagrams, for a single use case, can help you to debug and understand complex systems.
Save the Time Spent in Debugger - Debuggers help. But they are tiresome. Save the time you must spend in the debugger by first reading the runtime UML diagrams to get an overview.
Explore the Diagrams - MaintainJ sequence diagrams are a pleasure to read. You can expand and collapse the calls while exploring a complex sequence diagram.
Focus on What You Need - Only application classes (no API calls) are shown in diagrams. All loop calls and recursive calls are removed from sequence diagrams.
Generate. Do Not Draw - Code is the truth. Run the code and generate UML whenever you need.
Save Maintenance Costs - Development costs 10%. Maintenance costs 90%. Understanding code costs 50% of maintenance costs. Save by generating UML diagrams that help you to quickly understand code.
Open Source Based - MaintainJ is an open source based, low-cost product. Buy it or use and blog it. Or tell us about a more useful product for those who maintain and support complex Java applications.
