For building UML models from legacy packages, here are some
tips:

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.gmt.modisco/msg00055.html

...
- the first one builds a Java Abstract Syntax model (based on the JDT Java API) from a Java 
compilation unit, this Java model may be then transformed into a UML2 model using an ATL 
model-to-model transformation (http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/);
- the second one builds a UML2 model from a Jar file.
