Generate models from existing source [message #472158]

Hi.
I've been trying out uml2 tools for a couple of hours now trying to find a
way to generate class diagrams from my existing source (a java project). I
cant find a way to do it yet.

Anyone using uml2 tools for this purpose and can point me in the right
direction to accomplish this or does the tool not support this?

Thanks
/Andreas

Andreas,

I don't think the tools support this. I don't recall if the GMT project
has any reverse engineering tools like what you want. EMF does
something similar but that requires you annotate the source code (with
@model annotations in the Javadoc) to indicate which things are part of
the model and how methods in the Java code correspond to operations
verses features in the model:

From an Ecore model, it's possible to export it to a UML model; it's
also possible, with the Ecore tools component of EMFT, to create a
UML-style class diagram directly for the Ecore model.
