Very good, but

Would it be possible to add UseRelation detection for private methods accessing types via statics.
E.g.
-----
private void a() {
ClassB.staticMethodReturningClassD().staticMethodInClassD();
}
-----

Thanks
P.s. In case someone needs XSLT file to import CDG graphs into Yed , i have created one and glad to share.

Correct UML Notation

Is there a way to change the representation of the Diagrams to the UML Standard Notation?

E.g. for Attributes:

Currently it is formated like this: "- String name"
According to UML it should look like this: "- name:String"

Is there a way to have the class diagrams displayed in UML notation?

Version 1.4 (NetBeans 8.2 update)

Dear all,

The plugin has been updated for NetBeans 8.2. It should appear in your Update Center soon.

The code has been moved to GitHub and can be found here:
https://github.com/ossdcfos/easyuml

@ChrisLE
Can't delete class from designer - The widget keyboard events have been disabled for now. You may use the context menu to delete widgets or delete them from the Explorer window.

After deleting class from the uml explorer - I am unable to reproduce the bug you are describing. If it is still occurring, please include step-by-step instructions for reproducing the issue.

Doesn't make sense to have a UML project - We might consider this in the future, but there are no definite plans at this moment.

Github - The code has been moved to GitHub and can be found here:
https://github.com/ossdcfos/easyuml

@ariddlestone
Netbeans 8.2? - Updated, should be in the Update Center soon.

@Lavandysh
Wrong return values - I was unable to reproduce the bug with return types by following the steps you described. If the bug is still occurring, could you please include the problematic files and step-by-step instructions on reproducing the issue?
Also, I am not seeing any issues with class names. Which platform are you using (Windows / Mac / Linux)? Could you include a screenshot of the described issue?
The relations deleting when deleting a component (class / interface / enum) should be fixed now.
The experimental "arrange diagram" option might be reworked in the future, but there are no definite plans at the moment.

A big thank you to everybody for your feedback and reporting any possible bugs that you encounter.

Kind regards,
Boris Perovic

Wrong return values

Overall this is a good plugin, but it has one bug that I hate. The return types of mehtods are sometimes wrong. As far as I was able to ascertain this happens if you have a method with arguments and a return value. Then the type of the return value becomes the type of the first argument instead of what it should be. So I opened the file and manually fixed it, only to have my fix be overwritten by the program again after I moved a class a few inches and saved it!
There are also some other bugs: the name of the class isn't shown entirely, but that can be circumvented by adding spaces at the end of the name. If you delete a class the relations to that class do not all get deleted so the next time you open and close the schema it will not open unless you open it as a text file and manually delete all the relations that no longer refer to a class. And experimental "arrange diagram" option doesn't work well.
But overall a good plugin. Creates diagrams even from a part of a package and gives you a nice overview. Just don't trust it 100%

Doesn't make sense to have a UML project

I don't have any cases, only fantasy, but for me it doesn't make sense to have a separate project, because the UML diagrams are part of a Java Project and I don't want to separate it from this project. Is there a case why I have to do that?

If you have a look to the NbMindMap plugin, each project, has a new folder called knowledge and there you have your mind map files, which would be nice to have the same for UML diagrams. So a new folder called UML Diagrams and inside of this, you only have your UML files.

After deleting class from the uml explorer

I don't see any new classes inside the explorer, which I have created. I opened the designer for the first time, the explorer opens too, I created a class, I see the class inside the explorer. I delete the class in the designer, the class was removed from the explorer. After I create a new one, this class is never shown inside the explorer.
Posted by ChrisLE on Feb 25, 2016
  

Can't delete class from designer

When I create a class via the context menu inside the designer and I click outside the class and I select the class again, I can't delete the class when I press del.

NetBeans 8.1 Support

Dear all,

The plugin has been updated to work with NetBeans 8.1. We hope you enjoy using it.

Special thanks for user jfranki for reporting the incompatibility issue.

If you are still using NetBeans 8.0 and easyUML plugin 1.2.2, we strongly advise you to move to versions 8.1 and 1.3.

Regarding any potential future bugs, please make sure to include a detailed description and if possible upload the problematic diagram or java file.

Kind regards,

NetBeans 8.1 incompatible?

It appears the plugin is not yet compatible with the final release of NetBeans 8.1. Whenever a UML project is created a ClassNotFoundException is thrown (org.netbeans.spi.project.ui.ProjectOpenedHook). I really hope the plugin gets updated soon...

Problem in version 1.2.2 when creating a new class

when I create a class diagram from a project or a package and then edit it adding a class, for example, all the already existing void setter methods become the same type of the respective getter methods. For instance, if a have a "void setId(int n)" and a "int getId()", when I add any other class to the diagram, the method setId signature becomes "int setId(int n)".

Bug

I have a interface named "Ixyz", a class "GUIxyz" implementing the interface. The class creates a singleton instance within itself. But the easyUML is showing a relationship that the class created an instance of interface "Ixyz" which is not correct. When I renamed class to "ABCxyz" easyUML created the diagram properly. This clearly shows that the relationship is determined with the help of substring of name used for entities (example: "Ixyz" matches in both the cases). Please look into this issue and resolve.

This creates problem when the UML is created for a huge project. Difficult to validate each individual relationship.

Malformed or Unreadable .cdg file

I think the problem is in ReverEngineerUtils.java in saveDiagramAndOpenTopComponent, where it is hardcoded to replace the forward slashes with back slashes.

String defaultPath = projectFolder.getPath().replace("/", "\\") + File.separator + UMLProject.CLASS_DIAGRAMS_FOLDER;


I changed it to

String defaultPath = projectFolder.getPath().replace("\\", "/") + File.separator + UMLProject.CLASS_DIAGRAMS_FOLDER;

In my local environment and seems to be working like charm.

TinkerTaylor

Dear TinkerTaylor,

We are unable to reproduce the issue with a fresh NetBeans 8.0.2 installation. The plugin has additionally been verified by the NetBeans team, so it might be a local problem.

We are aware of the things that you did (deactivation etc.), but it might have happened that the user/cache directories remained. We suggest erasing them (http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWhatIsUserdir) for a fresh start, or even doing a clean install of the IDE.

In case of any additional trouble, please post it here, or contact me by e-mail.

Using Netbeans 8.0.2 with JDK-40 (64 bit). Installation of easyUML from the plugin menu as well as from a downloaded *.nbm timesout during installation. In both cases the installation slider timesout at about 90-92%. Kind of suggests corruption.

However, even with the timeout, the menu items appear, but are inoperable after that.

public TestClass() {

New version good, but display problem

Hello again,

Thank you very much for your update, it works without any trouble.

However the Java project I tried to made an UML version is "big" and easyUML show some trouble: the space allowed to him to draw the UML is not enough (and I speak about the space in the Navigator panel).

Is it a way to get it bigger? I didn't found any parameter panel.

I took a screenshot to let you see: http://postimg.org/image/ohdlq8e4j/
This is just the package with my main class, so I let you imagine when I tried on the complete project.

In all case that a really nice work and plugin you are developing. I am pretty sure it will be used a lot when stabilize and in the Update Center.

Re: Problems and features

Dear izirion,

We are currently working on a few features, one of them being the support for packages and various project types for diagram generation ("Reverse Engineering").

At the moment, diagrams are automatically saved to "project_root/UML Reverse Engineer/" folder, but we plan on changing this to something more flexible.

As for "Ctrl+S" shortcut, the bug has been noted, and it will be fixed soon.

Problems and updates

Hello,

I've just downloaded the plugin(s) and tried to make a simple diagram with two classes.

I've got these problems:

1. Relations aren't intuitive to draw - it's impossible to just click into one class and connect it to the other one as in other tools.

2. UML project isn't opened after restart.

3. Most important: I cannot save the diagram. There's only an empty diagram file.

So, I wonder when there'll be an update, so I can save my diagrams?

Another issue: I've to download the files manually - whaat about a UC for experimental UML plugins?

Kind regards
Peter

Build all plugins at version Java 1.7, please!

Hello,

if it's possible you build and release all plugins at version 1.7 of Java, please. I have any problems with platform 1.8 of Java at Netbeans and your plugin UMLProjectType requests platform 1.8 of Java.

Regards Tomas

UpDate Dec 11, 2014 - Thanks a lot of for that.

Required plugins

Have the same problem when I want to install the easyUML plugin as -Silver-. It shows me a lot of required uml plugins/classes. Have I install the old uml plugin for this? Better if the old one comes with the new one, together, if the new one requires the old one.

Regards

Chris

Update: After updating to 20140804, now it's working.

Installation instructions

I downloaded the plugin. But it's not the classic nbm it's a zip file with on it about 30 jar files. Could you explain how to install please?

EDIT:
Now the file is a valid .nbm (thanks) but I've still installation problems. When I select the plugin and click on Install Netbeans tells that other plugins are required and shows the list of them but the "Next>" button is disabled and it's not possible to continue.
