Recommend Source Code Comprehension Tool

Question

Do any of you use Source Code Comprehension tools for Java? Can you recommend one? I'm looking for something that visualizes the dependencies between jars/packages/classes.

Answer 1

There are various free and commercial tools that generate dependency matrix/summary:

• Sonar
• IntelliJ
• JavaDepend
• JDepend
• DependencyFinder
• Structure 101
• Enterprise Architect
