Re: UML Tools unable to map Java Objects Association/Dependency:

I'll second that. It's an excellent tool and much more powerful than anything else on the market. Two other tools which are less functional, but will also grok dependencies are IBM's Java Structure Builder and the opensource JDepends.

It's not a UML tool as such - it creates an "implementation model"
including dependency graphs.
All the best,

Hello,

After reading many post and trying so may different UML Tools, I  am
still unable to  accomplish what I thought a simple Task : Analyzing,
graphically, all the dependency on a Java Object.

Lets forget the (some time confusing) UML nomenclature for a sec.

What I call dependency is :
MyObjectA -------(Use)à MyObjectB

By (Use) I mean :

1) MyObjectA have a member variable of type MyObjectB
2) MyObjectA have a method with a input parameter of type MyObjectB.
3) MyObjectA have a method with a return parameter of type MyObjectB.
4) MyObjectA create or  call an object of type MyObjectB in a method.

All the Java Tools that I have tried (Together, Poseidon, Omondo, ...)
will Draw a UML 'association Link' or a 'Dependecy link'
between MyObjectA and MyObjectB  ONLY If MyObjectA have a member
variable of type MyObjectB !

Maybe I'm missing something?

Does any one know a Tools/Eclipse Plugin that will do what I am looking
for?
