Is there any alternative for anotations and comments in UMLGraph

I am using UMLGraph for Java to UML. It says the following in documentation for relationships:

association relationships (specified using the javadoc @assoc tag)

navigatable (directed) association relationships (specified using the javadoc @navassoc tag)

aggregation relationships (specified using the javadoc @has tag)

composition relationships (specified using the javadoc @composed tag)

dependency relationships (specified using the javadoc @depend tag)

i cannot add these tags or any comments in the source. Is there any alternative for this

Solution

  • If you're using the commonly available template for configuring UmlGraph, then you're probably using an old version.

    I can't find the doclet in the usual maven repositories. I suggest you download the latest version and just deploy it manually to your repository manager. You can download it from here: http://www.umlgraph.org/download.html

    Once you've deployed it, use this:

      <plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>2.9</version>
   <configuration>
    <maxmemory>1024</maxmemory>
    <quiet>true</quiet>
    <doclet>org.umlgraph.doclet.UmlGraphDoc</doclet>
    <docletArtifact>
     <groupId>org.umlgraph</groupId>
     <artifactId>doclet</artifactId>
     <version>5.6</version>
    </docletArtifact>
    <additionalparam>
     -inferrel -inferdep -quiet -hide java.*
     -collpackages java.util.* -qualify -postfixpackage
     -nodefontsize 9 -nodefontpackagesize 7
