Java source like HTML page

Is there any free or open source tool that can make html from java source
(one class is one html page) where fields, methods and parameters are links
to another html (java source) page. Browse-able source code with html.
In this way I can trace method calls with html links.
That would be better then debuger for code understanding.

Something like

Maybe this will do what you want...

But: Eclipse provides a "Call Hierarchy" view that shows just what
you describe. If you aren't already using it, why not try it?

I can imagine that other IDEs provide similar facilities, but I'll
leave it to others to give some details.

The Doxygen tool does exactly this:

http://www.doxygen.org

It will produce documentation directly from the from source code
and understands C++, C, Java, IDL, to some extent Objective-C,
PHP, C# and D.

FYI I also wrote a zOxygen Windows based utility that wraps
around the Doxygen tool:

http://www.zeusedit.com/zoxygen.html

It is designed to simplify the process of document creation
process for the case where you have a large number of project
source files.

For modest size applications, this *is* free.
Check out the download link on that page.
