UML Designer User's Guide
This document describes how to use the UML Designer
feature. UML Designer is a tool for capturing and organizing
requirements and other high-level design information as models, which can then
be transformed into implementation using VisualAge for Smalltalk, or into Java
source code (.java files). You can also use UML Designer to
analyze and document existing Smalltalk applications.
This document is not intended to document object-oriented analysis and
design. It assumes you are familiar with VisualAge, Smalltalk, OO
programming, and Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation. If you are
new to UML, see References for some recommended references.
This document is divided into the following sections:
- Modeling concepts explains some of the basic concepts behind modeling
with UML Designer. It describes the available model elements and the
various transforms available to generate model elements and implementation
code.
- Using the UML Designer tools gives general information about using the UML Designer
browsers and diagrammers.
- Building models with UML Designer explains the process of building a model by following
a simple example through a "forward" process of requirements, analysis,
and design. If you want to get a quick start using UML Designer, you
can read this chapter first, referring to the earlier chapters if you want
more information.
