GRASP (Graphical Representations for Algorithms, Structures, and Processes) is a full-featured development environment, created specifically to provide automatic generation of software visualizations for the purpose of improving the comprehensibility of the software. Over the past three years, a new version of GRASP has been developed based on pcGRASP and UNIX GRASP, which were written in C/C++. This new version, called jGRASP, is implemented in Java, and thus, runs on all platforms with a Java Virtual Machine. As with the previous versions, jGRASP supports Java, C, C++, Ada, and VHDL, and it can be configured to work with almost any compiler.
jGRASP currently provides for the automatic generation of three software visualizations: the Control Structure Diagram (Java, C, C++, Ada, and VHDL), Complexity Profile Graph (Java and Ada), and the UML Class Diagram (Java).
