I am just adding direct link to the document (in case the "Top 5" section changes in the future) ;-)

This is explained on slides 6 and 7 of the tutorial presentation made by Thibault and attached in the message.

Let me follow up on Jim's question because I have a simialr problem.  When I reverse engineer I get the .uml file with no problem and it is correct, but I do not get a .umldi file into which I would drag and drop. How do I get that file?

Hello Jim,

In fact I was refering to the functionnality of drag and dropping in Topcased : you can move an element from the outline to the diagram editor (if your element can be present in that diagram).

Topcased doesn't offer complex algorithm to automatically place your model elements.

It exists an algorithm for this functionnality in Topcased, but it often has trouble when the number of elements is important (which is the case when you do a refactoring from a java project).
That's why I advise to not use it (third comment of slide 7).

I hope it's clearer for you now,

Regards,

Thibault

Hi Thibault,

May I ask a question regarding your presentation "How to generate UML from a Java Project on
Topcased 2.1"?

I followed your instructions and have successfully created the model, with all packages shown in the Packages Explorer pane, but I do not see how to generate a UML Class Diagram from select packages.

The last slide of your presentation says:


"You can now create your own diagram by drag and dropping
the different elements of your model onto the diagram."


I would assume something like selecting packages then right-clicking and generating the UML Class Diagram from there, but this does not appear to be the case.

No doubt I am missing something obvious.

Would you mind enlightening me?


Thanks!

Jim

    Hello Jim,

    I have made a little tutorial to explain this reverse action.

    I hope this will help you.

    Regards,

    Thibault

        Hello,

        I am researching various tools that will enable us to reverse
        engineer an existing Java code base.

        We are typical of a shop doing a legacy => SOA transition (our
        area of focus is the Healthcare Industry).

        I downloaded and successfully installed
        Topcased-RCP-win32-2.1.0.zip.

        The scope of Topcased is impressive, but I am confused as to how
        to perform the Java code to UML Class Diagram step. Help from
        the Topcased menubar was not...well, of any help.

        In the documents that have been read, sparse mention is made to
        it, so it is assumed that the functionality is there, but there
        are no instructional steps of any detail.

        Those documents I am referring to are:

           * Installation Guide v2.pdf
           * ReleaseNote2.1.0.pdf
           * Topcased 2.0.0 - Release Note.pdf
           * TOPCASED_cookbook_1.2_gb.pdf
           * TOPCASED_roadmap_2.0.12.pdf
           * TPC-GETTINGSTARTED-015.pdf
           * TPC-SPE-DESIGN-029.pdf


        Experimentation on our part has, so far, proved futile.

        Is there documentation that we overlooked?

        If not, can you please advise?


        Thank you for your time, and from the first look at things, a
        great tool.


        Jim
