One useful tool is  UMLGraph, which generates UML diagrams from Java class hierarchies using javadoc (as a doclet) and  Graphviz:

java -cp $CP:/Users/curtis/apps/UMLGraph-5.2/lib/UmlGraph.jar \
  org.umlgraph.doclet.UmlGraph -public \
  -sourcepath /Users/curtis/code/LOCI/imagej/src \
  ij ij.gui ij.io ij.macro ij.plugin ij.plugin.filter \
  ij.plugin.frame ij.process ij.text ij.util \
  -output - | dot -Tpng -oImageJ.png -Gratio=0.7

In practice, though, we may need to limit this to 1-2 packages at a time.

In addition to the tools already mentioned, IBM's Rational Software Architect Standard Edition has several tools that can automate some of the modeling and analysis processes we are likely to take on. Specifically, the use of Java to UML through the specification of a transformation and Software Analysis features.

9 UML Diagrams were created covering the current ImageJ code base. Files are respective of package and thus vary in size.

Which tool did you use to generate these diagrams?
