I've been looking for 3 days for a an eclipse plugin that helps you to create a visual component diagram. I also want to be able to extract the XMI file that corresponds to the diagram I create. So far I tried EMF, and GMF, but after installing them, I couldn't find what I need. I only got stuff like this:
I have no problem with using a non-eclipse based tool, as long as it serves my need.
Any help? Thanks.
Try Papyrus. EMF and GMF are frameworks to create your own diagram editors, Papyrus is an open-source tool which is based on them. Component diagram is one of supported UML diagrams. Steps to create a new diagram are described here.
What worked for me is Altova UModel 2014. I downloaded a trial version, and it perfectly matches my need. I can buy it later. No problem.

Right now I'm doing a tutorial in Java EE. Problem is:
The tutorial says that I have to create facades of my entities from my database. The tutorial is designed for the NetBeans IDE, but at work i must use IntelliJ. I'm not a big fan of IntelliJ at the moment but i have no choice. So like the title says: is there an easy way to create facades for my entities like there is in NetBeans?
Thanks in advance :)
Uhm, no there is no such thing. IntelliJ actually requires you to be able to code yourself. Netbeans lacks that feature I think :).
I've seen this question in various guises around the place, but as yet haven't found a suitable answer. If this is a duplicate, appologies (I'd be surprised if it wasn't a duplicate!)
Basically, I have a project which is using (mostly) shell code and sql. I want to make sure all the files have a similar setup, and that I document things consistently. To this end, I want to have template files / skeleton code within Eclipse.
It seems easy enough with Java, but not other file types. I have checked out ShellEd and it didn't appear to have this feature (correct me if I'm wrong).
It would be great to be able to add this as a new file type, such that I can say File -> New -> sh/sql and have the correct basic template with the right header etc.
Also, if possible I would like to be able to, one click, add a function prototype with the correct documentation to my files...
I thought this would be easy enough, but a few days of Googling and messing about, it seems I need to write a plugin of my own... but I can't beleive that it's not possible, more likely my Google skills aren't up to scratch...
any help?
cheers

P.S I'm normally a Vi (not Vim) user, but have had Eclipse forced upon me!
For SQL the Data Tools Platform Extender SDK (DTP) Eclipse project contains a SQL editor with templates (under Database Development in Install New Software).
currently I have a fully working project in Eclipse using OOP. Now I want to creat UML diagrams Use Cases, Sequence Diagram, class diagram, package diagram with eclipse, does eclipse or any available plugin for eclipse allow this service
Try out ModelGoon UML4Java, it can build Class, Package, Commumication, and Sequence diagrams from existing Java code. Diagrams are also built by using drag and drop. The sequence diagram is very detailed.
This is what I do Eclipse 3.6 and my Java projects. Just a drag and drop from the package explorer to the class or sequence diagram. Really cool.
-broken link to image removed-
For usecases which are an UML object and not an Java object I drag and drop the usecases from the model explorer. I also sometimes create a class and add Usecase as stereotype. It means that my class diagram can have usecase which are related to a class. It does the job and pretty easy.
You can try HiberObject plugin. Also can use Jupe
If you are using Eclipse 6.1 then this could be helpful.
I have a question for you. My teacher proposed a couple of thesis to me. Basically to develop a plugin for eclipse. There are 2 options:
1)An editor for A-SPL language with syntax highlighting, auto completation of the cose, errors detection and so on........to help people that need to use S-APL
2)An editor to help people to design GUI in S-APL......something like a framework where you can drag widgets and there is a kind of automatic completation of the code....
The thesis should last 4 months......i should not implement everything but make a kind of prototype that maybe in the future someone will finish and make properly work.
I never did something like this so i would like to know if it is difficult, which skills are needed, which languages i should know to create eclipse plugins (for example i know java and python) and so on......to figure out if it is something i can do.
I'd suggest to look into the Xtext (for a textual editor) and Graphiti (for a graphical editor) projects.
You'll need Java for Eclipse plugins.
You need to read a book / the eclipse plugin wiki about Eclipse architecture as it's critical to know the paradigms in use.
There's an example XML plugin editor that you can create from the 'New Plugin' wizard which would be a good starting point for the first option.
good luck. :)
I absolutely love the Source Code Ouliner power toy that I use in VS2005 but am upgrading to 2010 and it seems they haven't yet released a new version. Is there anything similar that shows you a basic outline of the file you are currently navigating?
ReSharper, amongst many other features, has a File Structure window which does the same as Source Outliner.
For a free one, try the Solution Navigator in the Microsoft Productivity Power Tools.
Like you, I found this a totally great plug in that saved on the order of minutes per day. No more searching for functions! Luckily Source Outliner has been re-created for VS2010 and is still free. However, sbohlen updated it and it now runs on the (free) DXCore environment. I have been using it ever since I upgraded to VS2010.
You can read along as I got this set up, downloaded all the parts and got it running.

The download is here:

You will also need the DXCore community installer from http://www.devexpress.com
But as a ReSharper user for years now, I will use the File Structure - same sort of view and already built in to R#.
