Creating UML diagrams programmatically [message #494026]

I'm working on a project that is refactoring procedural legacy business code
into object-oriented code. I need to be able to programmatically build UML
diagrams (initially, class inheritance and sequence diagrams) from my model
of the OO system.

I've found this article, Getting Started with UML2
( http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/articles/Getti ng_Started_with_UML2/article.html),
to be useful demonstrating how to programmatically build a UML definition of
a package and class. Am I right to assume I'll be able to generate a class
diagram from such a definition? Can I use UML2Tools to render such
diagrams? Does anyone know of similar articles/tutorials showing how to
programmatically build a definition of a sequence diagram?

Thanks for your help,
Travis

Hi Travis,

If I'm not mistaken, once you have the semantic model built, you should be
able to use UML2Tools to automatically create a diagram. You would need to
ask the eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2tools newsgroup about the details.

Cheers,
- James.

James - Thanks for the response. It looks like there's some good info over
there in the uml2tools newsgroup.

Regards,
Travis
