Hi All,

I have a Java program and I want to see the relation between the
classes in a visual manner (e.g. UML). Is there any tool , preferable
free, for converting a java package into some graphical representation?
Thanks a lot.

You can try NetBeans 5.5 with the Enterprise Pack or JDeveloper

Both are free, but need quite powerful workstations

I can recommend the open source tool ArgoUML [1] which includes support
for importing java source and class files.

There is also a nice commercial extension of ArgoUML called Posidon for
UML made by Gentleware [2], but the free community edition of that
product do not, as far as I know, support Java importing. For that
feature you need at least the standard edition, which is not free.
