Does anyone know of a good (read: Free) Eclipse UML plugin that can also do code generation? If not, does anyone know of any good Eclipse UML plugins?
EDIT: I'm running Eclipse IDE on Fedora Linux
TIA

I've had some luck creating UML diagrams based on java code with ObjectAid: ObjectAid Download Page.
It was made for Eclipse so it should work. However, I don't know if it does code generation... but it makes a pretty picture!
The site lays out how to install it and the UML diagramming portion is absolutely free!
Hope this helped!
eUML is free (read the license for restrictions): http://www.soyatec.com/euml2/features/
Also Jupe: http://jupe.binaervarianz.de/
Try Acceleo . Very flexible.
Netbeans came with a free version of UML plugin which did code generation. The last version with UML plugin was 6.7. After that they stopped. you can download that and then install the plugin for it. You can check out STARUML
I agree with Jordi Cabot. you can basically exploit the Eclipse Modeling Framework with one of the existing model editors (i.e. Papyrus, TopCased, etc.). Then you can write your own generation workflow by means of Acceleo, an Eclipse implementation of the MOF to Text Transformation Language. It enables you to dive into a model and generate the text you want (i.e. Java, C++, C, python, Matlab, etc.) from it.
At the beginning it may look a bit weird and hard to understand but it is the best environment I know for this purpose. It is totally conform to the OMG standards.

I've an android project opensource written in Java (Eclipse). There are about 300 classes..I wanna to be able to understand the code quicker and to have a general representation of all the classes, interfaces and to know how they are connected each other.
Is there a way in Eclips or an external utility that could help retrieve the class structure of the project?
I have not tried it, but this looks good: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jug/
EDIT: Well this one looks even better: http://www.objectaid.com/home

I haven't done that yet with Java, but you can try some of the options discussed here:
How to generate UML diagrams (especially sequence diagrams) from Java code
to get UML diagrams of your code
There are quite a few UML plugins available out there for Eclipse. It's really about how much information you want and which you feel comfortable with. The most popular one I found is Object Aid but a quick Google search for UML plugins for Eclipse returns a number of options.
If you want detailed UML diagrams then I highly recommend taking a look at Enterprise Architect. It provides tight integration with Eclipse. The desktop version is quite affordable.
I am actually trying to create a browser based IDE for educational purpose to code java language programs. I want it to be something like eclipse orion except that the IDE will be capable of compiling and debugging java language code (and it will be only a bare bones IDE). And also, I want to add real time collaboration to at least the editor part of the IDE.
Would it be possible to create an online IDE that would have real time collaboration like the google docs? Also, is MobWrite one of the ways of achieving it and is it good?
If it is possible, please inform me.
Thank you very much in advance.
I think there is an interesting option out there by IBM(Just rode in a blog),
called "Web Browser-Based Interaction with the Eclipse IDE".
Have a look at this link:
http://www.rodenas.org/blog/2007/10/16/eclifox-web-browser-based-interaction-with-the-eclipse-ide/
So the answer is yes, it is possible somehow.
I hope it helps.
Update:
There is a similar question already on that topic(but browser interaction with the IDE is not mentioned), have a look at it, maybe can be helpful:
Real-time collaboration in Eclipse
In theory, anything is possible.
In practice, I'm not sure that collaborative programming ... where lots of people are hacking on the same files in real time ... is going to be productive.
Programs are qualitatively different to text / markup documents. When you two people are simultaneously editing a program, semantically conflicting edits can break the "work" in a far more fundamental way than conflicting edits on a document. I don't see this being an effective way to write programs.
Sure, JavaWIDE is what you are looking for: http://www.javawide.org
It has concurrent editing, and you can compile and run directly in the browser.
JavaWIDE is free and sites are available to educational institutions.
Feel free to try it out (no account needed) at http://sandbox.javawide.org
Cloud9 IDE has multi-language support has recently released a new collaborative tools including a new real-time collaborative editing feature (with authorship info), Group Chat and File Revision History timeslider. Further explained in https://c9.io/site/blog/2013/10/new-collaboration/
Mostafa,
The Cloud9 IDE Developer behind that Collab
It depends on the purpose of the IDE. JavaWIDE provides a great IDE for introducing programming concepts for novice programmers at the beginning of their programming classes. JavaWIDE will probably never be used for professional programmers.
Koding has a real time collaboration tool (with a bunch of cool stuff) where you can import your projects really easy. It also has a free VM with root access. Definitely worth checking out. :)
I recently saw Compilr and It seems pretty decent. You can run it inside a browser, full collaboration work is supported and Its cross browser and you can run it on your devices as well.
Nice thing is that it also includes some basic courses for you to learn coding which is exactly what you are looking for :)
For an on-premise install (you don't depend on external servers/services ) you could try Eclipse + saros (http://www.saros-project.org/), saros depends only on XMPP but you could build your own server locally (http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/)
For web based collaboration tool on-premise too I've been developing this: https://github.com/juanitomint/Space_Editor
It's based on nodejs,Extjs,ace editor and git, contributors are welcome
I wonder is there any tool (preferably free) that can generate Java source code from UML diagrams?
Thanks!
Besides NetBeans, I imagine the following will do the job :
ArgoUML
Jude Community Edition (sorry, it's now called Astah Community)
Omondo, without a doubt
Try NetBeans, Here is youtube demonstrating the process
You can try JUDE
ArgoUML, and it's more commercial version, PoseidonUML, have this option.
Also, JetBrain's IntelliJ IDEA have a UML editor that can add fields and methods.
Code generation tools are often target agnostic. It is usually a matter of whether generation templates or cartridges exist for the intended target platform.
Acceleo is Eclipse-based and has a plug-in for UML2-to-Java generation.
I haven't used BOUML myself, but my old project manager was fanatical about it, and he was telling me about how it supports UML->Java code generation (and reverse engineering). Might be worth checking out.
here is one more free for non-commercial use. may be learners can make use of this
http://www.visual-paradigm.com/download/vpuml.jsp?edition=ce
Star UML
you can download it frm here http://staruml.sourceforge.net/en/download.php
Enterprise Architect
A solid UML 2.4.1 core coupled with an intuitive user interface and
efficient, highly scalable repository is the basis for one of the most
successful UML tools ever created. 300,000 users worldwide, a vigorous
user community, endorsements from major standards bodies, an
affordable price point, numerous accolades and a proven record of
delivering exceptional results.
Is there any way to manage/debug/compile Java projects in Visual Studio 2010?
Before you answer, please read this topic.
I'm a little late to the party, but it looks like someone has started adding support. From the description, right now it only does syntax highlighting and basic navigation within a single file. However, in the Q&A section the author mentions plans to add compilation and debugging support later in the year.
The short answer - No.
The long answer - No, because the supposed intellisense support for Java that the blog entry referred to, in the question, relies on J# support. I believe it has been quite sometime since Microsoft has discontinued J# - VS2008 does not have it.
In the long run, you're better off learning how to use Eclipse/Netbeans/IntelliJ IDEA or any other IDE for the purpose of managing Java projects.
Sure. Visual Studio works with any language so long as someone takes the time to write the plug-ins for it. Heck, Mainsoft has already added JVM debugging support to Visual Studio. They just don't support the language.
The only problem is YOU are going to have to be the one who writes it.
I won't lie to you. It won't be easy and fan-boys on both sides will hate you for it. But if you pull it off I can at least offer you some money to write about how you did it.
No, although, I long for the day when VS might possibly support building Java applications. I don't think I have yet found an IDE as fully featured. Personally, if VS supported Java development, then I would trash my installation of Eclipse and Netbeans. ... so tired of wonky Java IDEs....
Cyberduck is written in Java and developed in Visual Studio 2010, though it requires IKVM, an implementation of Java for Mono and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Here are the build instructions.
C++ syntax highlighting looks pretty good for Java. Turn this on in Options->Text Editor->File Extension.
Extension: java
Editor: Microsoft Visual C++
Now reopen a .java file and see pretty colors.
I will advise to go for Eclipse, if you have to do at least 25% Java coding. Otherwise VS is good as well. But I like Eclipse for C++ as well as Java.
A new plugin is currently being developed named IntegraStudio,
aiming at full Java development under VS. It currently supports:
IntelliSense for Java (comparable to standard C++ IntelliSense in VS)
build with Ant or Maven
direct Ant / Maven project view in Solution Explorer
Java debugger with container visualization
support for VS browsing features (Class View, Code definition, etc.)
Class View works also for classes in JARs (including standard library)
browsing Maven repositories
JDK: 1.6 - 1.8
It uses standard JDK tools and targets the real Java platform (it
is not a .NET platform solution, as VJ# was).
At the moment of writing this, the IntegraStudio plugin is beta.
It does not yet contain advanced Eclipse features, however many
of them are in current roadmap (e.g. code refactorings and quick fixes).
You can find it on Visual Studio gallery:

I have been tasked with porting a large Java codebase to the Android platform. The project makes extensive use of AWT which isn't' supported on Android.
I'm looking for a tool that lets me visualize all of the classes in the project. I'd like to be able to see all of the relationships between classes so that I can get a good idea of where to start the port.
If you have any suggestions that would help in this task I'd like to hear about them.
I use Structure101 almost daily to visualize and understand our code base. A great tool and quite reasonably priced too.
This question has been touched at StackOverflow many times before and here are some links:
Is there some tool to visualize java class hierarchies and relations?
Tool to visualize code flow in Java?
Recommended Eclipse plugins to generate UML from Java code
Good free UML tool for Java/Eclipse?
IntelliJ IDEA also has some tools to help, like Graphical Navigator in IDEA 8 and Code Navigator plugin.
Netbeans has an OK reverse engineering tool which spits out a heaps of UML. I haven't used it in a while, but when I did it was a tad buggy.
There is an Eclipse plugin called Creole which you could also try. http://www.thechiselgroup.com/creole
