Welcome to JxRef

JxRef is a Java code analysis toolset. It is a tool that will help you identify refactoring opportunities in a Java code base. It can also provide information that will help you identify potential risks of making a code change.

JxRef will do the following:

• Identify if a class or method is used, If so, where... See sample.
• Identify Sequence diagram information about a method (what it calls in what classes). See sample.
• Identify application dependencies (on open source projects, for example). See sample.
• Identify the largest and most complex methods (according to McCabe Complexity metrics). See sample.
• Identify methods that are unused or should be private. See sample.

JxRef can be downloaded here.
