            Abstract : 
A tool and associated sound mapping have been developed for exploring and understanding the static structure of Java programs´ packages, classes, interfaces, and methods. The tool supplements visual use of the Eclipse IDE. A sound mapping provides information regarding the identification of, characteristics of, and relationships among the architectural entities.
