Do you know any free tool (open source preferable) to do that? Thanks.

A bit extreme maybe - but you could always load your stuff into Eclipse !
The dependency tools in there are very powerful.
That way you also have access to the best free Java Development Platform ou there - well, IMHO !

Where can I find it? Eclipse only provides an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) to
present the java source code structure. Am I right?

Eclipse provides all kinds of searching and there is also a call hierarchy view.
In addition there is a plug-in that integrates JDepend.

http://metrics.sourceforge.net/ also has a nice dependency graph.

Ilja,
Did you have any probs getting the metrics to work?
I've done what they said, unzip into plug-ins, enable metrics on project, rebuild project, but still no metrics!
I'm using Eclipse 2.1.2 and metrics 1.3.4
