To clarify, you are talking about reverse engineering from java code to sequence diagram?

First, good luck.

I don't think there are tools that are doing this right now text 2 model transformation is still in a very early stage but RSA creates an XML file to represent the sequence diagram so it could be possible to fake the (text to model) transformation with a text 2 text transformation. If I remember correctly, it uses EMF for representing the node in the xml representation of the diagram so you could use it to help you.

If you manage to create something that will allow that kind of transformation, you will still need to implement the logic. And I am most curious about how you thought about it. How do you map a lifeline or a message from Java? Will every method be a message? How do you filter those? etc...

I think that if you try to do it yourself, you will understand why there are few tools for MDA/MDD and even fewer for reverse engineering. But if you can make it, ...

Yes, I did not find any easy solution and reverse engineering is not a correct solution for this.
