Java reverse engineering

Revision as of 03:17, 16 June 2014 by Geoffroy.jonathan.gmail.com (Talk | contribs) (How to use the Java reverse engineering extra plugin)

The Java reverse engineering is available in the extra plugins of Papyrus. It allows to reverse java filles or packages to a Papyrus class diagram.

Reverse a Java class

A java class can be reversed into a Papyrus class diagram:

  • open the class diagram,
  • select a java package from a project
  • click into the Reverse button ReverseButton.jpg

A UML class has been created into the Model Explorer. Your can now add it into your diagram. Note that all associated classes are also been added into the model.

Reverse a package

A java package (and all classes included) can be reversed into a Papyrus class diagram:

  • open the class diagram,
  • select a java package from a project,
  • click into the Reverse button ReverseButton.jpg

Package and classes have been created into the Model Explorer. Your can now add them into your diagram. Note that all associated classes are also been added into the model.

Choose reverse options

By default, a package named "generated" is created for the reverse engineering. You can choose another package name on the options menu.

This options menu allows to:

  • change the default package of the reverse engineering,
  • add or remove search path. The reverse generator search existing uml classes and regenerate them.
  • add or remove creation path. The reverse generator search on existing java classes to generate a uml class. Useful for creating java imports (ex: String, Integer).
