UML Tool to reverse engineer object diagrams from java source?

I have been playing around with a few various UML tools- Enterprise Architect, Visual Paradigm; in the end I found Intellij IDEA good enough for producing quick UML class diagrams.

However, I found creating UML object diagrams quite fiddly in EA and VP. I was wondering if there was anything out there that could reverse engineer some simple java code that creates some class instances - then create UML Object Diagrams from this?

We use UmlGraph embedded into a maven build, so we get graphs in the generated javadoc.
