Javasrc developers have agreed to donate Javasrc to Alexandria and continue
development here :-)

It's more evolute than JXR AFAIK.

Here is an example:

Ok will look at it.
Currently I have found an XMI2SVG stylesheet that is quite cool.
All I need now is to find a Java2XMI system... I thought I saw it somewhere,
but can't find it anymore...
Any clue?

Here is what Centipede cents generate and thet I want to see in Alexandria.
Try the "Code" links, and remember that each Javadoc Class page has a link
on top to a basic uml view.
