Java Opensource API to create flow charts


Is there any Java opensource to create flow charts not within the IDE itself, but in a web based application so they can be viewed on a browser? This is like a Cost Control Flowchart, but basically a flow chart.

To avoid any confusion, the business requirement is to allow users to create flow charts and save them to databases. I am not looking to create UMLs of source code or vice versa.

This stackoverflow question points to the right directions but I need to be able to have users draw and then save the drawing/information to the database. Flowchart is the only UML required.


Solution

  • If it does not need to be "web-based" then yEd Graph Editor could be a good choice.

    yEd is a free desktop application that can generate high-quality diagrams, either manually, or by importing external data.
