How generate UML Diagram in Eclipse ( Reveres Engineering)

Most of the time it happens that we need to do reverse engineering from the existing Java codes.
We have the code in Eclipse project and want something light and very handy to get Class Diagrams & Sequence Diagram generated from all those codes.

Here is the best solution for this Reverse engineering : ObjectAid

Yes, ObjectAid is an UML tool which has its plugin.

How to Use ObjectAid plugin ?
Go to Eclipse --> Help --> Install New Softwares --->
  Click on "Add" and enter the following:
Name: UML Plugin
Location: http://objectaid.com/update/current
Click OK.


You will get the plugin installed in your eclipse. Restart the eclipse.


Go to "Package Explorer" and right click on the package for which you want to generate the Class and Sequence diagram. Right click and --> New ---> Other ----> ObjectAid --> Class Diagram or Sequence Diagram.


And now your Class Diagram / Sequence diagram is ready now.
