Reverse Engineer sequence diagram in StarUML

Question

Hi folks,

I am in the process of reverse engineering an existing java project. I am using StarUML to generate the class diagrams.

I would like to know how I can generate a package diagram, package dependency diagram and sequence diagram from existing code in StarUML? I would be much interested in sequence diagram if not the others. Could you please let me know about it?

I would also like to know if you have come across any other better open source tool that does this job. Thanks a bunch for your time.

Thanks, J

See http://www.reversejava.com for a dynamic reverse engineering application which generates UML Sequence diagram and view of Participating Class diagram from any Java Application at runtime All you have to do is just run your application and sit back. Reverse Java runs in background tracing all the activities happening inside your application and creates UML diagram for you.

You also have options for, excluding packages,editing the Sequence diagram and exporting the diagrams as PDF or Image.

And its not expensive !
