Just a feature request if it isn't already in the works:

Runtime analysis of code that actually matters ie live code.

Often its hard to figure out what in the code base actually matters.

Debugging is still sort of difficult and dead code is really hard to find and get rid of. Particularly if reflection is used heavily which it almost always is these days.

Otherwise (IMO) as a Java developer IntelliJ and Eclipse are actually not that far off in their static analysis and already pretty good to discover the code. Especially IntelliJ as I can easily see them enhancing their code view/discovery as well as they already have static dead code analysis.

I guess I don't think discovering code bases is that much of a problem compared to understand what is actually running.

That is I think debugging particularly multithreaded applications is vastly more difficult problem. Thus runtime analysis would be very useful.

Thank you for your input! I wouldn't call it a feature request though, I'd say it's another tool. But, you are right, exploration of dynamicly analyzed code would also greatly benefit understanding.
