Java Analysis Tools

Introduction

The Java Analysis Tools are designed to help java developers get a full grasp of java classes in newly introduced packages and libraries. This tool gives the developer a closer look inside the classes, providing detailed information about the class itself, about the class hierarchy and about the methods and fields that inside the class.

These tools also help the developer extract vital metrics information, for analyzing and testing the quality of the code.
