UDoc is a tool to parse Javadoc (and alternative sources) and render the result into UMLish diagrams on the fly. Written in Java and using the Swing API, this has been extremely useful in my development environment.

This is excellent.
Once you work out how to use it, that is!
* display the 'Classes' drop-down menu (second one along!)
* enter classname, e.g. org.jmacs.ISpi (in 'Class:' field)
* enter absolute path to the javadoc, e.g. /Users/rob/.../apidocs (in 'Documentation:' field)
* display the 'Filters' drop-down menu (third one along)
* enter 'java.*' to filter out system classes
Getting your layout just right works very well. This you can then save and print.
I wasn't able to print to a PDF file, only PostScript. This was the only thing I found wanting.
Available using Java Web Start. Recommended.

A note of caution: I just tried to load a previously saved workspace, and got a NullPointerException :-(

Loading workspaces was a weak point of that release. The next release fixes many bugs, even in the Javadoc parsing, and add the possibility to load from binaries as well.
Your old workspaces are compatible with this release, so if they failed to open they should open correctly with the coming release.
