I. PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT

Java2UML is a tool based on Eclipse RCP technology that transforms Java code to UML models (and corresponding Papyrus diagrams). This version generates class and activity diagrams.

II. USER GUIDE

The Package Explorer view shows all the projects in your workspace and the files they contain. Right click on your project (or package) and select the "Generate UML Model + Diagrams" option to generate the UML model and the related diagrams. If you just want the UML model file, select the “Generate UML Model” tab.

In either, the following window will appear:

Here are the different editable parameters:

- Container : where the generated files will be created

- File name : Name of the generated file

- Model Name : Name of the model

- Limit visibility : the minimum visibility (private, protected, etc…) of the elements to reverse

- Logging Level : verbosity settings for the logging mechanism

- Model Imports : select UML models containing profile definitions that are used in your code to avoid re-generating them

- Activity Generation :

o None : The tool generates no activity diagrams

o Annotated only : The tool will generate only the annotated diagrams

o All : The tool will generate all diagrams

When you are done, click Finish to create the reverse file(s).

If you choose to generate only the UML file, two files will be generated in the package or project you selected: the log file and the model uml.

Double click on the “.uml” to open it and you will obtain a similar window to the following:

If you choose to also generate the diagrams, four files will be generated in the package or project you selected: the log file, the diagram files, and the model uml.

Double click on the file “.di” to open it and you will obtain the class diagrams of your project, which will look like the following:

V1 of Java2UML does not yet offer automatic layout capabilities: You will have to move the elements using drag and drops in order to make the diagram usable.
