The new UML tool in 4.0M1 looks like a pretty good start. I have a request and a concern.

My request is to be able to drag a source file from the Package Explorer and drop it into a diagram. The new class should have all attributes and methods populated into the model automatically. Code generation, then, would have to work hard to preserve existing comments and other structures not normally visible to the UML tool (inner classes?).

My concern is about sequence diagrams. Do you have a strategy for implementing sequence diagrams given that Argo UML (which forms the basic for your code) does not have that functionality?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Thanks for the dnd suggestion. I’ve entered an enhancement request so that we can track it going forward.

Re: sequence diagrams, a solution is currently being pursued. Timeframe for availability is unknown at this time.

I’m using ME4.0M3 and I would like to add another suggestion regarding UML. I’ve tested out the new UML features (class diagrams in particular) and I’m wondering if it would be possible to have an option in preferences to make the UML class editor generate JavaBean properties automatically.

For instance, if I have a Person class diagram and I add a private String property called firstName, I would like the UML tooling to generate the public getter and setter methods for this property automatically.

I vote for this one too 🙂

Without that the whole feature is useless !!!!
Why doesn’t anybody from myeclipse answer?

This enhancement is a good suggestion and has been filed for us to investigate adding.

I actually just fired up the forums specifically to find out if this was possible…looks like its not 🙁

Does it make any sense to create your attributes in UML, generate the beans, have eclipse generate the getters/setters, then reverse engineer the beans into UML?
