Generating UML diagrams using NetBeans 7.2

Question

I found this link:

for generating UML diagrams from existing code; admitedly using NetBeans 5.5.

I followed the outlined procedure but just get an empty -Model project.

Does the "Reverse Engineer..." method not work in NetBeans 7.2? If not then why isn't it disabled?

Thanks

Apparently not. And diverting from its "open-source" popular status, netbeans wants to sell the "UML plugin". :/ — 10101010, Aug 23 '13 at 10:17

After successfully installing easyUML plugin, do the following steps in Netbeans IDE:

File->New Project->UML->UML Diagrams Project
Rightclick on your Java Project in the project structure window->choose "easy UML create class diagram"
Refer to your UML project

Et voila!

No, the NetBeans UML is only available for NB 6.7 and earlier releases. See here for more informations.

Alternatives:

Both are listed at the NB UML website.

There is very useful plugin for NetBeans for generating UML diagrams called EasyUML.

EasyUML might be nice, but I cannot find any documentation on how to actually use it. – Thom DeCarlo Jul 21 '15 at 21:39
In NB 8.1 it throws an exception, Unable to create UML project – Pini Cheyni Feb 03 '16 at 17:07
This plugin has many bugs (Windows10x64, NB8.1, EasyUML 1.3) and is not usefull – Peyman Mohamadpour May 25 '16 at 16:46
