Creating a UML class diagram using the Class Diagram wizard

For our example we create a UML class diagram by doing the following steps:

Create a new folder for diagrams:

Right-click the src folder in the RAD75Java project in the Package Explorer and select New Ć Folder or New Ć Other Ć General Ć Folder.

For Folder name, type diagram and click Finish to create the folder.

Create an empty class diagram:

Right-click the diagram folder in the Enterprise Explorer and select New Ć Class Diagram or New Ć Other Ć Modeling Ć Class Diagram.

Type ITSOBank-ClassDiagram as the field name and click Finish.

Click OK to confirm enabling of Java Modeling.

The file ITSOBank-ClassDiagram.dnx appears in the diagram folder and opens in the Visualizer Class Diagram editor.

Notice that the Java Drawer is open in the Palette (Figure | 14). Application Developer automatically opens the Java Drawer by default for a Java project.

Note: You can also add already existing elements to a class diagram. Drag the element in the Package Explorer with the left mouse button and drop it in the class diagram by releasing the button.
