This test code is below:

There exists any tool that can generate the detail method call from main() to println()?

Thanks.

Create an exception object and print the associated stack trace.

That is called the call stack, rather than a graph. A graph is something different.

I'm not clear on what you're asking. What output would you expect for this example?

Output is call graph or Tree.

Many years ago I used Together 6 to reverse engineer a UML sequence diagram for a large(ish) project. A sequence diagram is a call sequence graph but be aware that it can be excessively verbose. Together 6 did allow some filtering but the result was usually too verbose to be any real use. Last I heard was that Together is now available as "Borland Together".

I bet Rational Rose have a similar reverse engineering tool.

If you are using Eclipse, set a break point and in the debug perspective, use Step Into (F5)
