Hi,

Prerequisite :

I assume that you have a project directory.
We can call it ${project}.
Below this directory you should have a src directory.
This src directory contains your classes.
I hope that your classes are packaged.
It means that below your src directory your have some directories who contains your existing code.

Start Eclipse :

Create a Java Project.
Import your project into your workspace through File->Import->File System.

Select your project name from the Package Explorer.
Right-Click->Properties->Java Build Path->Source
Select your src directory.

As an option solve your external jar files if necessary.

Eclipse will create a bin directory.

From the package explorer select the package where you want to create an UML Class Diagram.
Righ-Click->UML->Class Diagram Editor.

EclipseUML Starts and display an Object selector.

You should have successfully created a reverse engineered class diagram.

Regards.

Hello Xavier i followed your instruction thanks

but i failed at this step:
"Select your project name from the Package Explorer. "

do i have to select the projetct i want to reverse OR the project where the reverse will take place ?

i tried both and both failed

thanks in advance,

A java-guy in trouble ...

Hi,

You should select the new project you create.

Do not forget these important steps.

You create a new project in Eclipse where you import some java code from your file system.

In my use case you should have only one project.

Hope it helps.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem.

The following steps indicate what I am trying:

1) Create new Java project
2) Create new package
3) Import source code into project and package
4) Source code compiles fine, etc....
5) Choose New->UML-Class Diagram
6) a box pops up with "Package Content Selection"
7) Choose all the classes I want to be in the diagram by checking the boxes
Press OK, the diagram is empty. If I try to drag a class from the Navigator view into the diagram nothing happens.

If I try to create a new class from the class diagram editor and give it the same name, it claims that it already exists.

Why is it not showing up?

Eclipse Platform

Version: 2.1.2
Build id: 0802

Eclipse UML Plugin

Version: 1.2.1
Build id:

It works fine with me.

When I select a package of a working project - and choose "Create UML Diagram" - a dialog is shown, in which I can choose which classes I want to model - and it works.....

We have received a testcase. This is a bug of the JDT. It depends the code stucture. We found a workaround. We will publish it next week.
