Eclipse plugin for generating UML diagram from c++ code

Question

Is there any eclipse plugin that can generate UML/Class Diagram from C++ source code?

Answer 1

This is also not a Eclipse plugin, but the Umbrello UML Modeller from KDE is open-source and I've had better results with it than Doxygen or Rhapsody.

Answer 2

From the list of UML tools, I only see commercial UML editors (with C++ as one of the language reverse engineered), like:

• Enterprise Architect
• Magic Draw
• Modelio

In other word, I don't know of a open-source project offering C++ reverse engineered UML diagrams.

nrs mentions in the comments, from the Modelio Wikipedia entry:

The core Modelio software was released under the GPLv3 on October 5, 2011.
Key APIs are licensed under the more permissive Apache License 2.0.

Note: it is a standalone app (based on Eclipse RCP), which cannot be added directly in your IDE Eclipse. Eclipse as a plugin.
