It seems to me the UML module of NetBeans is a bit too much hidden. In NetBeans 6.5 it was very easy to create an UML diagram. No plugin installation necessary or sth. like. Read my post where I found a zip file to install the UML module.
And now, after this procedure, I got the UML module back, but it seems to me that I cannot create class diagram with it. Do you know how I can do this with NetBeans 6.8?
Update1: There seems to be no support
Update2: Nevertheless somebody seems to got it working.
You can create UML project for any of your Java project in NetBeans. Note that one Java project can associate with at most one UML project and you cannot create UML project without associating it with any Java project. Once you have created a UML project for a Java project, you cannot remove it or de-associate it.
Opening a UML Project In NetBeans, select the Java project where you want to open its UML project. Right click on the project and select Open Visual Paradigm EE from the popup menu.
In the Project tool window, right-click a package for which you want to create a diagram and select Diagrams | Show Diagram Ctrl+Alt+Shift+U ). In the list that opens, select Java Class Diagram. IntelliJ IDEA generates a UML diagram for classes and their dependencies.
Converted to answer: The UML plugin is no longer supported in new versions of NetBeans as stated in the wiki http://wiki.netbeans.org/UML. Not sure why, but that seems to be the case, does not answer your question, but it does put it in context. I could be just slowly breaking which is why both you and the blogger you linked to can't gets things to work.
