#HOW TO CREATE A CLASS DIAGRAM IN RATIONAL ROSE SOFTWARE#
From it I discovered that many reverse engineering capabilities were available in RSA (as well as Rational Software Modeler (RSM)) and they appear to be significant improvements over what I was used to in Rose and XDE. Smith, a Product Manager supporting model driven development at IBM Rational brand software. I highly recommend a meaty white paper I found on developerWorks called “ The new IBM Rational design and construction products for Rose and XDE users” by William T.

Yes, it was indeed possible to reverse engineer code into a diagram and as I got more into it, I decided it was actually an improvement. Luckily, I was able to determine that Rational had not lost its collective mind.
Had the Model Driven Development / Model Driven Architecture adherents at Rational lost their minds? Had they taken those reverse engineering features away on purpose? Was this a heavy handed means of forcing the whole world to adopt a “forward engineering only” view of the application development process? It was not obvious, however, what to do if I already had the Java code and wanted to go in the reverse direction. I found numerous transformations for forward engineering from UML class diagrams into something else (like Java). I got a sinking feeling at first that someone at Rational had taken the reverse engineering features away. I managed to import the source code and began fumbling through the menu options looking for reverse engineering features. I had done this numerous times as a Rational Rose and Rational XDE user in the past so I had no worries. I decided I would start by reverse engineering the Java code to create a class diagram.

I also had just recently made a conscious effort to upgrade my object modeling tool from Rational XDE to Rational Software Architect (RSA). I recently picked that project back up again and needed to dig into that code, understand how it worked, and create some design documentation for the overall project. One of the developers had built some great Java code to do this right before we stopped work. The project involved our B2B application making a call to a service provided by a 3 rd party outside the firewall. There were just too many projects going on at one time, not enough resources to work on them all, and the other projects were more important from a political point of view.
About a year ago I had to stop work on an interesting project.
