How to Generate a Sequence Diagram from Java Source Code

Question

I have a question about generating sequence diagram from Java source code. When I googled I saw someone told to use visual paradigm (VP), but it does not generate sequence diagram for me. Some steps in my VP are different from manual. The manual says to choose method but my VP does not allow to select method in a special class. Reverse Engineering Sequence Diagram from Java Source Code

Does anyone have a new idea to generate sequence diagram from Java source code?

Answer 1

With Intellij 2019 there are two plugins can do this job:

1. SequenceDiagram (currently 1.3). Go in your in Class method that you want to analyse and Tool>SequenceDiagram :

2. ZenUML support (currently 2019.1.2)

Answer 2

If you are using or wish to use the Eclipse IDE then you can install the ObjectAid UML plugin that can reverse engineer from:

• Java Stack Trace Console
• Java Stack Frames from Debug View
• Methods Call from Call Hierarchy View

and MUCH more.
