     I don't know of a ready-made tool (but my knowledge is incomplete).
However, one way to proceed might be to use the Javadoc tool: It can
already identify methods, constructors, and so on, and all you need to
do is get it to produce a different style of output.  Output generation
is handled by "doclets," and there are alternatives to the one that
generates the familiar HTML, plus an API for further customization.
Absent a ready-made tool, I'd suggest using Javadoc with a custom
"back end."
