#RATIONAL ROSE ENTERPRISE EDITION TUTORIAL FREE#
Big disadvantage is that usage of the free edition is limited to projects that are not under source control, as was mentioned in my previous review already.įinally, let me end listing some postive remarks about this product: After one day finding my way through the various menus, windows and tabs and exploring most of the options, I really got myself going and started to appreciat the package more and more, as I gradually became acquainted with its main features. The product takes some getting used at, but then really pays off. Together with the above mentioned tutorial, I was up and running in no-time:

Needles to say that this is the preferred way of software development, although deadlines will often make this less feasible in practice.

Since comments can already be entered at this stage, it is possible to set up a complete model with documentation in the code to start out with. However, I took the opportunity to start a test project from scratch to see what the plugin could do for me. The result of generating this way (part of) a diagram depicting the abstract factory design pattern from some existing code is shown below (was also shown in my previous post):Ī nice tutorial can be found on the Omondo website. Now you can select which dependency classes you want to be drawn onto the canvas. Here we navigate over “Dependencies”, which results in an additional pop-up with an option (called “Show Dependency”) to show all dependencies. By a right mouse-click on one of the classes, you have numerous options to your avail. From there we can extent the diagram in a step-wise fashion, e.g. When we right-click on this class in the explorer, we can select form the UML menu item the “inheritance explorer”, which puts this class on a canvas, together with the classes that extend this one.
Suppose for instance we want to explore the inheritance relationships of a class called AbstractDataSourceFactory. It is also possible to build up a class diagram step-by-step, which can be useful if you are dealing with large packages.
This can be done with the View selector, which can be invoked from the right-mouse popup menu. Per class the view can be customized, such as methods to be displayed, format (including return types or not, etc.), sorting order of attributes, methods and inner classes and so on and so forth. The class diagrams are saved, the project package diagram is generated either merely from source code or from source code and tags. I opted for associations, dependencies and inheritance, ending up with the follow diagram: A sample diagram is depicted below:Ī “cursor” in the outline window pane on the right offers easy navigation over big diagrams, as can be seen on the above picture.īy double clicking on a package, a class diagram may be generated of the classes contained in the package. Thereafter a package diagram is available. In general you want to confirm its question whether you want dependencies between packages being generated. You may allow Omondo UML to insert diagram related tags into your code. Choose “reverse engineering” and select all. There is a tutorial on the Omondo website on this subject, but I found it unsatisfactory.Īfter installation, a “UML” item has become available from the pop-up menu that is invoked by a right mouse-click on a project. Consequently, Omondo EclipseUML offers a so-called round-trip engineering, albeit lacking the generation of interaction diagrams (the dynamic behaviour of your application). Summarizing, it is perfectly possible to start with some reverse engineering on an existing project, and thereafter continue to extend the model, while the plugin keeps the code and diagram in sync.

Download eclipseUML_E301_freeEdition_2.0.0. (free edition for Eclipse 3.0, although I tried it for Elcipse 3.1).In this post I want to present a more elaborate description/howto, allowing myself to focus a bit more on some details. In my last post I reviewed the Omondo EclipseUML Free Edition.
