copied!<p>The <a href="http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=1801" rel="nofollow noreferrer">NetBeans UML Plugin</a> is not supported in NetBeans 6.8 (according to <a href="http://forums.netbeans.org/topic19405-0-asc-15.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this thread</a>, it may come back in 6.9). The recommended alternative is to use <a href="http://netbeans.org/features/uml/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SDE for NetBeans</a> from Visual Paradigm (they do offer a free, community edition of their UML tool that works with NetBeans).</p> <p>Some alternatives (based on Javadoc style annotations that will generate diagrams in javadoc):</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/apiviz/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">APIviz</a> - APIviz is a JavaDoc doclet which extends the Java standard doclet. It generates comprehensive UML-like class and package diagrams for quick understanding of the overall API structure. (Check the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/apiviz/#Sample" rel="nofollow noreferrer">samples</a>!)</li> <li><a href="http://www.umlgraph.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">UMLGraph</a> - (...) In addition, the UMLGraphDoc doclet included in this distribution automatically adds UML diagrams to javadoc documentation. (Example in <a href="http://java.dzone.com/articles/reverse-engineer-source-code-u" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a>).</li> <li><a href="http://www.yworks.com/en/products%5Fydoc.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">yDoc</a> (commercial) - Example in <a href="http://www.statsvn.org/apidocs/net/sf/statsvn/output/ChurnPageMaker.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the statsvn project</a>.</li> <li><a href="http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Doxygen</a> - an alternative to javadoc</li> </ul> <p>Personally, I would consider APIviz (that you can call from build tools like Ant or Maven). Really, check <a href="http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/netty/freezone/api/3.1/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this sample</a> to get an idea of the result.</p>
