Because the aim is to parse and produce a (design) model from the code.

Not a list of source files (like in an IDE), but diagrams that show 
relationships between classes, etc.

Our software has support for round-trip engineering, which means forward 
and reverse engineering and code synchronisation. Which means you can

1) Import your code and see how it works from a high level
2) Design your code and generate the source files from the design
3) Import code or create a design, and synchronise changes forward and 
backward. ie. Change the code and the model can be updated, change the 
model and the code can be updated.

I hope that makes sense.
