[PJUG Javamail] Looking for Tool Recommendations to Reverse Engineer Java Swing App To UML

[Vijay Balakrishnan]

Hi Steve,

I have used another one called essmodel. This is very fast and easy to setup
and generate a quick UML diagram from your Java code if that is all you
want.

http://essmodel.sourceforge.net/

It doesn't have any PMD style features doing any kind of static code
analysis.
