UML with Eclipse

**Ciwan** · 12-02-2008, 05:11 PM

Hi Guys

Can someone tell me what I need to do in order to model software systems within eclipse and have eclipse create the code > so that all I have to do is tweak the code ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There is an eclipse plug-in that will do this. I think you have to buy it(which is why I don't use it) or I couldn't get it to work or something. Search the Eclipse projects or tutorials for UML. Theres 1 or 2 products that integrate to eclipse.

P.S. If you find one that works I would love if you linked it to me lol. Nothing worse then having to hand draw a class interaction diagram using excel

Thanks

I wouldn't know I don't use any. The "best" one for me would just be one that works lol. If you want a simple answer you can write all your stuff in Eclipse and then just open the project using JGrasp which has a built in UML mapper

The strange thing is though > Together is not listed !!!

At Uni > we are being taught UML using Borland Together which my professor said was an extension of Eclipse > yet it is not listed in the 30 UML plug-ins

Can someone please shed some light on this matter.

Thanks
