I'm looking for a tool that will reverse engineer Java into a sequence diagram BUT also provides the ability to filter out calls to certain libraries.

For example, the Netbeans IDE does a fantastic job of this but it includes all calls to String or Integer which clutter up the diagram to the point it is unusable.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Try MaintainJ. MaintainJ generates sequence diagrams at runtime for a use case. It provides multiple ways to filter out unwanted calls. Yes, filtering out unwanted calls is the most important feature needed in sequence diagram generating tools. Besides, MaintainJ provides a neat interface to explore the diagram and search for calls in one use case or across use cases.

Check the demo video to get a quick overview.

I am the author of MaintainJ, by the way.
