Generate a call graph for a java program - Eclipse


Is there any sort of support in Eclipse whereby I can programatically generate a static call graph for a single method in a class, at build time?

I would like to be able to determine all of the methods that may be potentially called from a given class method.

I am not interested in a visual graph. I'm looking for an API. It doesn't even have to be Eclipse.


Solution

  • Eclipse has something called a Call Hierarchy. Highlight your method, right click and select Open Call Hierarchy. In addition in Windows you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+H.
