Convert Java Source Code to XMI via UML2 [message #827520]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently looking for a way to convert Java Source code into UML2 compatible XMI code - that's the main goal.
The idea that I came up with is to import the source code into UML2, creating the UML2 model which corresponds to the source code. Then, the last step required would be to run the default XMI serializer over that model.

The qusetion is: Is there a way to automatically generate an UML2 model from java source code? I need to do this programatically, though, not via using some tool.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Alan

See http://www.topcased.org/
they have an UML importer for java code.

As this importer is a plugin you could use the importer in your code
just like I did.
