The Javadoc As UML plugin provides a new Eclipse view, which analyzes the active editor source code towards existing class references within Javadoc comments or references within the body of a class.
All of these references are investigated further to generate an UML diagram in real time.

This diagram is useful for the structural analysis of a given code piece and for documentation purposes.

The big advance of the plugin is, that the source of the UML model are the Javadoc comments. This leads to a reduced discrepance between the Javadoc and the UML diagram documentation, and it is very direct and very fast.
