Hi Java users,

I think you may be interested by this new code analysis tool.

Relief tends to simplify and accelerate taking in hand and maintenance of projects written in Java by visually describing their entities and their relations.

It uses visual characteristics to describe entities and relations of a Java project: size, color, distance to the center, height and links.

This simplicity makes it possible to quickly grasp coherence and robustness of a project by detecting dead code, unwanted relations, strong coupling between entities, use of external libraries, etc.

Relief thus facilitates take in hand for new comers on a project, its use by third party and impact evaluation of considered modifications by an architect or project leader. Moreover it softens relations with nontechnical people, commercial team or customers, by establishing a common language.

A warning: the 3D view is addictive ;-})
