Need UML reverse engineering tool for Java project [closed]

Answer 1

Visual Paradigm for UML

Tools --> Instant Reverse --> Java --> Specify your sources and you are done.

This is a commercial application with lots of stuff, but for what you need to do, you are fine with the evaluation key.

EDIT: Also have a look at this video

Answer 2

Umbrello supports Java code import, and it is open source, so will cost you nothing to try.

You might also give Doxygen(with GraphViz) a go; it will generate UML 'style' class diagrams and is a great code navigation tool for unfamiliar code-bases. Not truly a UML tool though, but might suit your requirements.

Answer 3

Free Class Visualizer does exactly that - you load compiled Java code and, as a result, receive class diagrams allowing you to navigate through relations. It supports parametrized types, annotations and discovers all sort of outbound and inbound relations (including dependencies).

Answer 4

I recommend Enterprise Architect which supports full reverse and forward engineering including for Java. Automatic Documentation generation as Word, PDF or website.

Answer 5

I suggest euml2 as an eclipse pluggin.
It has a free version and it is quite good!

Answer 6

I recommend Architexa for its great class digram generation. Instead of generating every classes in a huge class diagram, Arhitexa allows you to selectively display the relevant classes in the diagram.
