SweetnMaxwellMemberI’m using the latest MyEclipse (Version: 5.1.0 GA), and doing some modelling of existing classes using the UML perspective.
I’m quite pleased with it so far, but is there a way to make it wrap long parameter lists?
Due to a constructor with 12 arguments, I’m ending up with a diagram that is a mile wide!
Yes, I know having that many arguments isn’t ideal, but I’m modelling an existing system.

We are glad it’s working for you well.
Unfortunately I don’t have a way for you to wrap lines… I suppose you could zoom out and pretend the box isn’t so big, but I realize that’s not quite the same 😉

Doesn’t quite work when you print it out… I can just about read the method names on A3 as it is…
Is the source for the UML bit available? I could have a poke around myself for a laugh…
(I’ve used Eclipse for a while now, but I’m new to MyEclipse as I’ve just started a new job, so I don’t know if all its bits are open source)
Riyad KallaMemberActually because MyEclipse is a commercial product we don’t offer source code to our product. I will see if there is something we could do on our end to improve this though.
pierre.henryMemberHello,
I am using the last version of MyEclipse (5.1.1 GA) and I have exactly the same problem. I am just trying to generate some UML diagrams to make some documentation, but some methods (search methods on some DAO’s and constructors) have a lot of parameters and I end up with very big boxes who are 98% empty. It is just not usable.
So has any progress been made in order to wrap long lists of parameters ?
Thanks,
Pierre
Riyad KallaMemberPierre,
Not at this time unfortunately. Management hasn’t prioritized this work. I’ll add your comments to the request though.DO you have a screenshot handy you could send me as an example? (You can use the PM button below to send it directly to me as an attachment)
