UMLDoclet

An open source doclet is now available on github..

It's also available in Maven central for easy inclusion in any java projects.

Usage:

• Declare the nl.talsmasoftware.umldoclet.UMLDoclet class to be used by javadoc (will by default also delegate to Standard doclet, so all-in-one).
• All customizable options will become documented on the github page before the 1.0.0 release.

Old legacy doclet

You can generate a PlantUML description for UML-class diagram out of Java-source. Only public fields and methods will be exported.

The jar for the doclet is available here: plantUmlDoclet.jar

The association are based only on field declaration and Javadoc-Tags in methods.

There are following Javadoc-Tags to describe associations, according to UMLGraph:

• @note: can be used to add a note to a class
• @assoc: Pattern: <cardinality> - <cardinality> <associated class> (no spaces)
• @navassoc: Pattern: <cardinality> - <cardinality> <associated class> (no spaces)
• @depend: Pattern: <cardinality> - <cardinality> <associated class> (no spaces)
• @overrideAssoc: can be used to mark a field-declaration not to export its association.

For configuration following system.properties can be used:

• createPackages: Default value is false
• showPublicMethods: Default value is true
• showPublicConstructors: Default value is true
• showPublicFields: Default value is true
