Solution Description

Jar2UML is an Eclipse plugin that imports and converts Java jar files into a UML model in the workspace. It is used to reverse engineer Java API class libraries for PlatformKit's Java platform model. Jar2UML has two import modes. The standard mode imports the contents of the selected Jar file(s) and the references made by the Jar file(s). The dependency mode imports only the references. The dependency mode can be used when Extracting Platform Dependencies of Third-party Components using the PlatformKit Eclipse Plugin. Apart from jar files, Jar2UML also supports converting class files in Eclipse Java projects, and it understands the zip, war, ear, rar, and sar formats.

The app generates Class diagram as documented. What changes are required to auto-generate Sequence diagrams from Java code? I remember the documentation mentioned that it is possible without giving further details.

I referred to the procedure given in java-design-patterns DOT com/blog/auto-generate-class-diagrams-with-uml-reverse-mapper/ and have generated .uml files. How to open the UML file? Eclipse shows it as an XML file.

i get a .uml file , but it seems papyrus cant import .uml file anymore.  Is there another way to open it in visual? thank you!

Just install it and use "File -> Import" option. Then you can use "Jar2UML" options to analyze project package structure and components in visualize way. Thank you.

I just install it and use "jar2UML" option "Import Jar Files to UML Models". Now, I get a *.uml file. Do you know how to view and edit this uml file in graphic visualize way as in Visio or StarUML. Thank you!
