UML 2

MyEclipse 7 introduces early support for drawing in UML 2 - such as the drawings below. These capabilities will continue to evolve, to match the more complete UML capbilities currently found in our long standing UML1 feature set. An example of capablities still to come is the two-way code/UML generation that is currently in our UML1 feature set.

Editor supports multiple UML 2 diagrams:

Our UML 2 editor allows you to create and edit nine different types of UML 2 diagrams.

Class Diagram

Deployment Diagram

Composite Structure Diagram

Use Case Diagram

Validation:

Use the validation action to validate your UML 2 model. Errors and warnings will be displayed in the diagram, Outline and Problems view.

The UML 2 editor toolbar contains all the features you need to create visually appealing diagrams. The ability to automatically layout diagrams aesthetically will be added shortly.

Further control is possible through an element's context menu and the Graphics tab in the Properties view.
