Generate Java code given a diagram PlantUML

I need to research about UML Tool PlantUML for presentation. And I use plugins plantUML integration in Intellij, here is my text to draw diagram

class Bird
interface Flying {
{abstract} flying(): void
}
abstract class Animal {
- name: String
+ getName(): String
}
Bird --|> Animal
Bird ..|> Flying

This is my diagram image

enter image description here

How can I generate Java code from the diagram?

Solution

  • That’s not the way PlantUML or the PlantUML integration plugin works. PlantUML is about creating diagrams via text, not about Model-Driven Development.

    You should be looking for something that supports you doing Model-Driven Development. I know of

    • Eclipse Modeling Framework
    • ArgoUML
    • Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect
    • IBM Rational Rose

    You‘ll have to search for such tools.
