About the project

The project based on Yossi Gil's article and Uri Dekel's thesis which investigates the application of formal concept analysis to code inspection of individual Java classes. The motivation is to help visualizing and understanding the structure of a class. The technique partitions the methods of the class according to their use of fields, and then presents them in the form of a lattice. This project is a convenient tool which assist the user to analyze classes according to steps described in the thesis.

The project is implemented as a plug-in for eclipse, which means that after installation, the project becomes an extension to the Eclipse platform, and is used as though it were an integral part of Eclipse.
