Another tool, which I found was very impressive is CodeCrawler . Basically this tool is able to analyze source code (well not directly but that's not the point) and generates a graph of the classes found. Each class is linked to others and have color, width and height corresponding to number of line of code, number of methods and number of attributes. And the whole graph is dynamic, you can move things around. Pretty impressive... alas CodeCrawler in written in SmallTalk, but if you have to audit code, that's a killer tool.
I love the way he says "alas" - likes the tool, likes the way it works, cares way too much about the implementation. You might as well pull out Emacs and say "alas, not written in Java".
