Ben says that Doxygen has the capability of generating sequence diagrams but couldn't get it to work.  I'll take a quick look to see if I can make it work.  It turns out that the tool, Mscgen, generates the sequence diagram based on text placed in a comment.  In essence, you are telling the tool what the sequence should be.  This may or may not be useful, depending on needs.  I went back and looked at the Spring launcher in CSA and decided that it wasn't correct.  The Ehcache guys rightly called out that depending on a shutdown hook is not safe because there is no gurantee that objects you need for clean up are still available.  I'm working on a cleaner solution.
