AmaterasUML

AmaterasUML works with Eclipse 3.3 or later(not support Eclipse 3.2), and AmaterasUML also requires GEF.

Please download AmaterasUML_x.x.x.zip from here.
Unzip that and put all jar files into ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins.

AmaterasUML Extension

AmaterasUML Extension is a component of XMI import/export. This extension requires EMF, and UML2

Before install the extension, please install the EMF and UML2 (I tested on EMF2.2.0 and UML2 2.0.0)
Please download AmaterasUMLExtension.x.x.x.zip from here.
Unzip that and put all jar files into ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins.

Note: XMI extension is an experimental implementation. We know it contains some problem but it is not maintained now.

How to Use

Class diagram editor

Please select "File"->"New"->"Other"->"AmaterasUML"->"Class diagram". Then class diagram file (*.cld) was created.
Opened Class diagam editor, and you can edit diagram using pallete. Then fields/methods can add from a context menu.
Some properties (ex class name) are edit directry in diagram. but some property(is abstract class or concrete class) are edit only property view.
If you want import/export Java, choose "Java" from a context menu.

Edit directry

AmaterasUML automaticaly parse field/methods when edit directry.

parse your input

Sequence diagram editor

Please select "File"->"New"->"Other"->"AmaterasUML"->"Class diagram". Then class diagram file (*.sqd) was created.
Opened Sequence diagram editor, and you can edit diagram using pallete.
If you want add a Message, choose "Message". Then select source "Lifeline" or "Activation" and target "Lifeline" or "Activation"
If you want add a Creation message, choose "Message". Then select source "Lifeline" or "Activation" and target "Instance" (Target instance must be none of imcoming/outgoing message)
If you want add a Self-call message, choose "Message". Then select source "Activation" and same "Activation" by target.
You can select a class of Instance. Select the instance and choose "Import and Assign Class model" from a context menu. Then you can code assist on diagram or property view. Please hit CTRL + SPACE(limitation: can't use mouse when select the proposal, and if you escape the edit on diagram, hit esc key 2 times...)

Add Creation message

Please connect Lifeline/Activation to Instance.

Please select "Window"->"Show View"->"Other"->"AmaterasUML"->"Stack Trace Sample".Then paste Java stack trace to opened view, and execute action. New stacktrace.sqd file is created on selected project/folder.

paste stack trace.

If you use Sequence API, you can create such plugin easily. This is a sample code, how to use Sequence API.

Sample code

//Add net.java.amateras.umleditor plugin in your plugin dependency.

//instanciate builder.
SequenceModelBuilder builder = new SequenceModelBuilder();
// create instances
InstanceModel start = builder.createInstance("Start");
InstanceModel next = builder.createInstance("Next");
InstanceModel last = builder.createInstance("Last");
InstanceModel instanciated = builder.createInstance("NewObject");

// ready to create message
builder.init(start);

// create message from Start to Next
MessageModel msg = builder.createMessage("Message to Next", next);

// create message from Next to Last
builder.createCreationMessage("Message to Last", last);

// create message from Last to Start
builder.createMessage("Return to Start", start);

// create self-call message on Start
builder.createSelfCallMessage("Self-Call");

// back to pointer
builder.back(msg);

// create message from Start to Last on next to first message.
builder.createMessage("Message to Last", last);

// add creation message.
builder.createCreationMessage("create", instanciated);

// convert to xml
System.out.println(builder.toXML());

generated sequence diagram

Usecase diagram editor

Please select "File"->"New"->"Other"->"AmaterasUML"->"Usecase diagram". Then class diagram file (*.ucd) was created.
Opened Usecase diagram editor, and you can edit diagram using pallete.
You can change the Actor image using property.
You can also attach any file to Usecase using property.
If you double click the Usecase, attached file will open in Eclipse.

Activity diagram editor

Please select "File"->"New"->"Other"->"AmaterasUML"->"Activity diagram". Then class diagram file (*.acd) was created.
Opened Usecase diagram editor, and you can edit diagram using pallete.

You can swtich the hide/show grid by using "AmaterasUML" file menu
