Hi,

I probably should know this but is there a (simple) way to visualize java project(s) structure (packages and classes etc) and their dependecies? Ie. can I generate a model of the project structure?

Thanks Ed, I forgot about Modisco (which I never got something useful out of it)

However I was hoping for something to create a Papyrus model (thus the question in this forum)

Hi

Doesn't really make sense.

Concepts such as Projects/Folders/Files are not UML elements, so you
cannot represent a project as a UML model.

You could create a UML model of the concepts and then have UML instance
diagram, but it would be a bit contrived.

I would investigate how easily Sirius can eat a Modisco product.

Hi,

The ADL4Eclipse extra-component provides a profile for OSGI + Eclipse artifacts, and can reverse an Eclipse workspace or installation into a (stereotyped) UML Model. It provides an high level overview of the plug-ins, dependencies and extensions. However, it doesn't go too deep in the details. Especially, Java code is not reversed (I think it stops to exported packages). That's still work-in-progress, I don't know if the latest improvements are publicly available yet, or still pending on Gerrit. And we applied it on Eclipse plug-ins, which are not exactly Java projects, so I don't know how well it's gonna work with that.

There is also an extra-component to reverse Java code in Papyrus, but it is unmaintained, and I think it can only reverse the structure (Package, Classes, Attributes, Methods, but not the implementation of the methods). I'm not sure about that.

The Eclipse UMLGen project might also contain some tools for Java (Most likely a code generator, not sure about reverse tools)

HTH,
Camille

Thanks Camille, do you know the name of the extra component? Might be worth a look.

Hi Patrik,

In the Papyrus Extra update site (e.g. http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/papyrus/updates/releases/mars/extra), look inside the "Papyrus Java" category. It contains a UML Profile for Java, a Code Generator and a Reverse tool. You may also need to install QVTo manually to make it work properly

HTH,
Camille

Hi,

This components are maintained. I have check installation today, and
they still work.

The documentation can be found in the wiki (and in Eclipse help once
installed) :
- http://wiki.eclipse.org/Java_reverse_engineering
- http://wiki.eclipse.org/Java_Code_Generation

Hope this elp,
Cedric
