This document describes an analysis technique using the Eclipse Profiler that:
eases the process of analysing large amounts of code
is free
flattens out OO design and resolves runtime class loading, showing what code actually ran at a particular moment in time
creates a graph of the call stack
syncs the call graph with source code so you can navigate the code using the graph as a navigational aid
allows you to save and re-load analysis information
is self-documenting, providing a view of the code at the point of execution rather than a view created the last time the documentation was updated
thins out un-important information in the code such as getters and setters
is derived from an open source project, allowing you to tailor the source
