MaintainJ, an Eclipse plug-in, generates runtime UML sequence and class diagrams for a given use case, helping the users to quickly understand a complex Java or J2EE application.

MaintainJ logs runtime method call trace to a file and uses that trace file to render sequence and class diagrams. MaintainJ is the tool to turn to when :
You want to find out what exactly happens in the application when you run a use case.
You need to quickly understand large, complex Java applications.
You want to reduce the maintenance costs by more than 20%.

MaintainJ is different from any reverse engineering tools you have seen before.

a) Forget Static Reverse Engineering UML diagrams from source code can take you only so far. Run a use case and generate UML sequence and class diagrams for that use case to debug and understand complex systems.
b) Debuggers are Tiresome Debuggers help. But they are tiresome. Save the time you must spend in the debugger by first reading the runtime UML diagrams to get an overview.
c) Explore the Diagrams MaintainJ sequence diagrams are a pleasure to read. You can expand and collapse the calls while exploring a complex sequence diagram.
d) Focus on What You Need Only application classes (no API classes) in specified packages are shown. All loop calls and recursive calls are removed from sequence diagrams.
e) From Code or Jar Diagrams are generated at runtime. You don't really need to have the source code.
f) Save Maintenance Costs Development costs 10%. Maintenance costs 90%. Understanding code costs 50% of maintenance costs. Save by generating UML diagrams that help you to quickly understand code.
g) Open Source Based MaintainJ is an Eclipse based, $20/year product. Buy it or just use and blog it. Or tell us about a more useful product for those who support and maintain complex Java applications.
