Is there any documentation on how to use the UML support? I found a simple document with a few screen shots for MyEclipse 4.1, but it is essentially useless. I have spent an hour trying to use this feature to create two simple classes where one is a composition of the other. I believe I have exhausted every permutation attempting to configure the association, but the generated java code contains duplicate variable declarations!

Please tell me there is documentation for this upgrade I just purchased.

Thanks,
Scott

If you are simply trying to make the relationship between A and B one of composition, then right-button selection of the blue square at the end of the relationship will bring up a menu, the third item of which allows Composition (solid diamond) or Aggregation (open diamond). You can turn both off with the None option.

This may not solve your variable declarations though. Are you declaring the same attributes in each class, if so this is probably incorrect. A Car, for example, is a composition of CarParts. However, the attributes of aCar may differ from the attributes of it’s composite parts.

Scott,
There is the introduction document here:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/uml/

But that might be what you were referring to, in which case there is a very extensive case study using the UML tool for a full system design here:

I hope that helps.
