SAB - The Software Architecture Browser

Abstract

Sab is a tool for automatic generation of class diagrams from Java code. In addition to hierarchical layout, it features a wealth of user interaction facilities for dealing with complex software.

The central features of the tool are presented, and an overview on its implementation is given
