Generate UML class diagram to Java

Class diagram is a structural diagram in UML. It is popular for modeling static structure of a system. The UML class diagram can serves as the basic blueprint for developing software systems, and transform to Java classes easily.

In software development, dealing with changes is one of the most challenging tasks since you need to keep update both source code also documentation. But with the help of modern CASE tools, you can keep your class model and Java source code synchronized without hassle. And you can generate up-to-date documentation for your system after every modification you have made.

This training course divided into 4 parts. The first section will teach you how UML class can be map into Java class. The second to forth sections will talk about perform round-trip code engineering to keeping both your source code and model are up-to-date using Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML), SDE for Eclipse and SDE for NetBeans.
