Through Eclipse Mars, the Java Reverse Engineering was available in the Papyrus extra plugins. Since Eclipse Neon, they are now in a separate Papyrus component, called Papyrus software designer.
The Java reverse tools allow Java files or packages to be reverse-engineered into a Papyrus class diagram.
[[installation_instructions]]
== Installation instructions
The Java features of Papyrus are available as part of the http://wiki.eclipse.org/Papyrus_Software_Designer[Papyrus Software Designer] extra feature.
You can install it by using the Papyrus Software Designer update-site (for Oxygen):
The reverse engineering capabilities are part of the Java feature of Papyrus SW designer. Java reverse is available, once the Java feature is installed via update site or marketplace. See link:../getting-started

*** Project explorer walker
*** Class oepd.languages.java.reverse.ui.ProjectExplorerNodeWalkerWithIProgress - the methods doSwitch(Object, SubMonitor) and visitICompilationUnit(ICompilationUnit, SubMonitor) traverse the project explorer resources recursively until reaching a compilation unit (called a "node" in this context).
*** Class oepd.languages.java.reverse.ui.ReverseSelectedNodeVisitor - the method visitICompilationUnit(ICompilationUnit) examines JDT elements of a compilation unit.
