Consider the below two diagrams. The top one contains a plain arrow at the right end, and the bottom one contains an arrow with a diamond at the left end and a plain arrow at the right end. The great book GoF has usages of both of these two kinds of diagrams. I want to understand what does the diamond signify in the second case, and which one of these two gives a stronger association between Customer and Order . Is the Customer class responsible for the lifecycle of Order class in either of the two cases? If there is no diamond , then we have a simple association . If the diamond is left empty

What is a good Eclipse plugin for generating a class diagram (for a project)? This image right here is exactly what I'm talking about. Vineet Reynolds Assuming that you meant to state 'Class Diagram' instead of 'Project Hierarchy', I've used the following Eclipse plug-ins to generate Class Diagrams at various points in my professional career: ObjectAid . My current preference. EclipseUML from Omondo . Only commercial versions appear to be available right now. The class diagram in your question, is most likely generated by this plugin. Obligatory links The listed tools will not generate class

I'm now using NetBeans as my IDE-of-choice, and it has a plugin for UML modeling. In the class diagram, there are model elements known as Boundary Class , Control Class , and Entity Class . However, I can't find a good definition of them, but I did find this site on UML Class Diagrams. Often used with/as a part of OOAD and business modeling. The definition by Neil is correct, but it is basically identical to MVC, but just abstracted for the business. The "Good summary" is well done so I will not copy it here as it is not my work, more detailed but inline with Neil's bullet points. Good summary

Does anyone know where I can find examples of class diagrams for RP game development? Something similar to here would be quite useful. I'm not looking for things I can slavishly copy, but just for different examples that diagram various solutions to the problems I'm discovering as I try and pencil down my own classes. I know Emmanuel Deloget from GameDev.net but I'm not sure I would choose to use the hierarchy he's got there! Too much inheritance, not enough flexibility. If I was writing a text-based RPG (as I have done in the past) it would look a bit like this (though I've no time to draw up

I have the following interface: public interface IRegisterable { T Register<T>(string username, string passw) where T : User, ICanLogin, new(); } User is an abstract class, and ICanLogin is another interface. Now, I want to represent the above interface with its method in a UML Class Diagram, in Visio. How can I represent the above generic method with its constraints in a Class Diagram ? UML does not support type parametric methods directly. About the closest you'll get is to define a nested class which has the type constraints with a stereotype which you will interpret as meaning it's a type

How do i show the use of static methods in a UML class diagram? class A{ public static void test(){ } } class B{ public void b(){ A.test(); } } How would a class diagram look like, which shows the relationship? UML 2.0 would be prepared, if there is a difference. To show a static method you underline the name of the static method - have a look here for more detailed info. As for navigating that relationship; class B is dependent on the existance of class A . We can say that class B has a "usage dependency" on class A class B ----uses----> class A Hope this helps. umlcat @RobertMS is right.
