Hi,

I'm looking for good Java cross reference tools.
Are you familiar with such a tool? What are the (dis)advantages of it?
Is it prepared for the new 1.5 Tiger release?

Kind regards,
Dirk

See http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/Formatters/JavaBrowser.html
for a combination of Java cross reference on browsable source code,
with JavaDoc. Present version works with Java 1.4; a Java 1.5 version
should be available soon.

Free demo download.

If you need code navigation, Eclipse might be what you want; it lets you
even navigate through std lib classes. You can also use doxygen to
generate HTML documentation that includes source code and is fully cross
referenced.

Kind regards

I need to find out where certain methods of a certain class are used. I
took a look at the Doxygen tool but I think it only can show cross
references when extra tags are added to the code.

The SD Java Source Browser gives complete and language-accurate
cross references for every symbol.

During development eclipse is paramount at this task. With the call
hiearchy you can even find all places several levels deep and navigate
there quickly.

That's not true as far as I can see. I did a check right now with doxygen
version 1.3-rc1 and it includes a line containing hyperlinks to all
methods that invoke the method.

Hi Robert,

Can you tell me what option you added to get those cross references?

Thanks in advance,
Dirk

I think it's in section "configuration options related to source
browsing":

REFERENCED_BY_RELATION = YES
REFERENCES_RELATION = YES

If that doesn't help I can email you my doxygen.ini.

Kind regards

robert
