Reverse engineering tools for Java web applications

I have been searching in the Internet looking for an application which could take a Netbeans Web project and create an UML diagram resulting from these classes. Also, but not essential, I would like a similar tool for the JavaScript code I have in the Java web project I mentioned before. It's such an inferno trying to understand the structure and inner relations of this web project I was given.

Check out http://www.uml-lab.com/en/uml-lab/. It provides reverse engineering of Java code. It will extract known patterns and provides a pattern template to match your project.

I used Enterprise Arctitect in previous projects. It can reverse engineer your code into UML, XML you name it. It can also do a lot more! We used it to document the code functionality that was actually implemented so it could be compared with the original spec.

It's a great tool for Business Analysts, Project Managers, Software Architects and Engineers because it has tools for each of these users' perspectives.

You can try Visio for creating UML diagrams by reverse engineering but I don't know whether it will work for JScript or not but you may give it a try.

This says it will UML diagram JS: http://jsuml.org/

That being said, JS is typically not object-oriented in the sort of way where UML diagrams are too likely to help.

Most UML tools have the capability to reverse engineer Java source into UML models. Few of them will generate the diagrams automagically for you. And none of them will know a thing about your view layer, so don't expect to see JSPs.

You may get class or package diagrams. Sequence diagrams will be a challenge.

I know of no such thing for JavaScript code.
