  • Support of audit and reverse engineering
  • Improved Javadocs

Key features

  • Reverse engineering of existing code, and automatic construction of UML models
  • Construction of package diagrams with overview of inter package/inter-class dependencies
  • Browsing in dependency graphs, analysis of causes
  • Update/generation of Java utility methods
  • Generation of Javadocs integrating UML diagrams, HTML browsing in Javadoc graphs

Key features of the current Modelio Java Solution


Automatic update of Java utility methods

The Eclipse IDE is used to create utility methods (equals, hashCode, toString) from a class definition. However, it does not maintain them, which can cause well know problem, such as bugs and maintenance work. Modelio keeps the Java code consistent, by reversing it and keeping generation "up to date".
