We're working on a system which parses Java and represents it's
linkage information in a database. We then serve hypertext (or
hypercode if you will) which has all the desired features -
call/callee links, etc. It will look somewhat similar to the javadoc
output, but with all the source code there.
This is part of a software development/evolution scheme we're working
on. Java was convenient to use (easy to parse, fun to write, etc :).
If you are interested in helping build a static hypertext generation
program, let us know.
BTW - the parser is based on Sun's Java compiler (javac) which is
written in Java.
We should have a demo product up and running in the next few weeks and
you'll be able to find it from:

I think the 'java' byte-code interpreter is written in C, the
compiler/parser (javac) is written in Java.
