Two classes with a same name in PlantUML class diagram

Question

Dear community members and PlantUml practitioners,

I would like to have two classes with the same name such as:

• Test << stereotype >>
• Test

and I would like to make relation between those two classes. Is it possible to make alias for classes in class diagram so I can make distinction between the classes thus those will be represented as two different elements.

Any idea?

Answer 1

With plantuml you can alias a display name using "as." For class diagrams it looks Like this:

@startuml
class "Test" as t1
class "Test" as t2
t1 -> t2
