About Java-Code Reverse Engineering
See Also
The IDE can reverse-engineer Java source code into a UML Modeling project that contains 100% of the code's structural information, except comments and white space.
- UML Modeling's reverse-engineering process supports Java 1.4 (including support for Assert keyword) and Java 1.5, as described in The Java Language Specification by James Gosling, Bill Joy and Guy Steele.
When you reverse-engineer Java code with UML Modeling, the IDE does the following:
- Generates class elements in the UML model to reflect source Java classes and interfaces.
- Adds Java class members and methods to
the UML model
as attributes and operations within their respective class components.
- Derives file dependencies from Java import statements.
- Builds a UML Modeling project and places a new UML project node in the Projects window.
