Cindy, Wuwei,
A collaboration diagramme is not an object diagramme. It is a diagramme with objects.
Object diagrammes are one of those things that disappeared when the three amigos
discarded
their proprietory notations in favour of UML. The object diagramme showed the
instantaneous
static relationships of an instantiated system. The collaboration diagrammes show the
dynamic behaviour (flow) of messages during some activity. These are not the same.
They
are not even close.
While the collaboration diagrammes and static (class) diagramme provide almost full
coverage
of modeling needs, there are some times that you would want to record an object
diagramme.
(Just because a class COULD have a relationship does not mean that is will)
In brief, Rose does not support object diagrammes in UML mode. I don't remember
whether it
still supports Booch notation. If it does, and you can convince it to go to Booch
notation,
you can probably get an object diagramme. But as I said, they're not tremendously
profound,
as evidenced by the fact that UML has dropped them.
