Hi All,

I am not sure if my question would get merit but i will give it a try.

The other day, I was given a new project to customize, it's quite huge to fully understand easily. But the problem is, there was no documentation to support the project.

My question is, can I generate a UML like diagrams given just java code? Class diagram perhaps.. I am using eclipse as an IDE.

Thanks.

You can use Enterprise Architech or Rational XDE to generate Class diagrams.Sequence diagrams can't be generated directly,Not sure about Eclipse IDE.Try to install model eclipse plugins.You may be able to generate class digram after installations. Please raise this question in Enterprise Architech's Forum.

There is a thing called Omondo which is available as a plugin to Eclipse which can create UML class diagrams.

NetBeans can do UML forward and reverse engineering. I haven't used it myself (yet) so I don't know how well it works, but it's worth a try.

Hello All,

Thanks for all the inputs that you had given. I will look at each of what you have suggested.

While googling for my query, I found this linkLink
and have tried their reverse engineering feature and it generate good UML diagrams.

The problem though is that its not free and I had just downloaded the trial version for 30 days..

But it would help a lot since I could now see how the classes are related. I will just have to check on the other plugins that you have suggested.

Kudos to all..

The community edition is free and it can also do a reverse engineering.

HI Use Borland Together to do it...

Its quiet fast,flexible and Open

U can generate class diagrams ,sequence diagrams,communication diagrams and activity diagrams by just getting the class diagrams...

Also it has very few Bottlenecks
