Jare:There are several FREE/licensed plugins(tools) available in the market for creating UML diagram from existing java application (reverse engineering).I will describe one plugin which can be used on eclipse.Other plugins are almost similar in use.I will describe ‘EclipseUML’ plugin (http://www.omondo.com/) and the FREE version can be downloaded for testing purpose.I have used this tool with Java code base and eclipse IDE for generating UML class diagram from application packages.
Please follow the steps below
'n) Download the FREE version ‘Eclipse 3.5.2 & EclipseUML Studio 2.2 package’ from (http://www.omondo.com/).
b) Extract the ZIP in a folder.
c) Open the ‘eclipse’ application and it will show you eclipse UML 2.2.
d) Import the java application packages.
en) Regskliek op die pakket wat jy wil gebruik om die UML diagram.Select "Open / Reverse UML te skep’ en 'klasdiagram'.
f) Op die volgende pop-up Kies verhouding en scope.Click 'OK'.
g) Die klasdiagram sal outomaties gegenereer word met geselekteerde verhoudinge.
h) Nou regs kliek op enige klas (op die regte paneel) en kies 'afhanklikhede','erfenis’ en 'association'.The gekoppel klasse of koppelvlakke beskikbaar sal wees op die spyskaart self na die verhouding op die diagram wys.
i) onthou asseblief, die diagram sal oorweeg slegs die entiteite (classes,koppelvlakke ens) binne dieselfde projek.
j) As jy wil ander projekte verwys dan moet jy vir hulle in te sluit in die bou pad van die eerste projek.
Dit is die basiese funksies wat beskikbaar is in die prop. You can explore other features also during your UML modeling.
