Is it possible to generate a UML class diagram from Java classes or source files? I was looking for something that wouldn't require a long time to learn and stubled upon this project. From the GUI it seems that it would be possible to generate the diagram from a .net dll. What about Java? Do I need a special reverse-engineering plugin?
Thanks,
Sergei

Dear Sergei,
Yes, to generate UML class diagrams from java classes, you need to implement the reverse engineer plug-in for this purpose.... The implementation will include the parser to go through the java files and construct the in-memory data structures which will be used by the toolkit and rendered as class diagram.
The source files related to this are available under <src_dir>\ReverseEngineers.
Pls let me know if you need any further clarification.
Thanks,
Vineeth.

Hi Sergie,
I have another solution, not involving dpatoolkit though :) , use doxygen + dot (graphviz) utility to generate the class diagrams.
