"Innovation needs Documentation"
The continued success of Java comes with a steadily growing class library. New methods for the compression of information are necessary. For this a new kind of visual attractive class diagrams is presented, which transcend the normal UML standard. Our diagrams show the classes in the standard Java libraries and expose their relationship to each other. These diagrams transcend UML class diagrams by using graphical design elements like area, color, texture, contrast, repetition and alignment to convey information, which makes them more usable and visually pleasing than the standard UML design. The diagrams are interactive, i.e. the separate classes have links to the API-documentation. The current version 0.7 ships 168 class diagrams which cover most of JDK's packages. The future plan is to chart the whole of the JDK 1.4 and than go on to J2EE, JME and third party libraries.

The site additionally contains a series of tables for the Java language and other contributions to information technology. These tables aren't from Sun Microystems Inc. and therefore aren't part of any official documentation. The tables contain apart from the core data an indication of the frequency of use of each grammatical Java element. Every table is available as a low resolution GIF image and a high resolution PDF file.

The site is available in both English and German.
