Tpc 2.1 Java Reverse Tutorial

How to generate UML from a Java Project on Topcased 2.1 By Thibault Landré

Pre-requisite

• Topcased 2.1 • Java nature applied on your project

Open the package explorer view • Menu « Window » > « Show view » > « Other... » • Then select the « Package Explorer » view

Create a model from the project • Right click on your java project and select « UML from Java »

Fill the wizard • Container : the location

where the *.uml file will be saved

• File name : the name of the *.uml file

• Model name : the name of

the element « Model » (the root container of your model).

Create an umldi from the .uml newly generated • Right click on your « model.uml » and select « UML Model with TOPCASED ».

Create an umldi from the .uml newly generated • Select the container of the first diagram of your umldi file • Select the type of root diagram you want. • It is recommended to uncheck (if check) the check box

« Initialize the diagram with existing model objects » as it may cause trouble during the creation of the umldi file.

Finally ... • You can now create your own diagram by drag and dropping the different elements of your model onto the diagram.

• Note that the reverse also works on a single package of a

java project. For that, select the package instead of the java project when creating a *.uml file.
