Hi, Frank and Wendy. As a developer using Struts, I think that both your ideas would be nice. - Wendy's way: A ClassName only diagram showing inheritance in a simple black/white diagram would help in the overall understanding. Could also be on the package level, although we'll need a package diagram in front to display the relations of the packages. (Which can be quite hard to display) - Franks way: Detailed diagrams (not only the one with all classes, of course) in color, displaying it all as it should be (UML Class Diagram, using regular notation of access modifiers) would be a great help when you don't have the full "map of Struts" in memory.
Anyway, in both cases, please save the files in .gif or .png files (should be accessible for all platforms) and reduce the amount of colors. That way, the filesize will remain low and the graphics-quality (sharp borders / high contrast) will be improved. If you insist on keeping the files large, use .tif files. :-) Either way, save the images in 72DPI as it should be used on-screen. I realize that this should be an automized task (always keeping diagrams up-to-date), but it would be perfect if the diagrams were rendered, in the browser, as "clickable" links, thus clicking on the package-only diagram, would link to the diagram of that specific package.
