This paper promotes the use of a mathematical concept
lattice based upon the binary relation of accesses between
methods and fields as a novel visualization of individual
JAVA classes. We demonstrate in a detailed real-life
case study that such a lattice is valuable for reverse-engineering
purposes, in that it helps reason about the interface
and structure of the class and find errors in the absence
of source code. Our technique can also serve as a
heuristic for automatic feature categorization, enabling it
to assist efforts of re-documentation.
