A complete replacement of the UML drawing area control is underway. Currently we use a closed source graphing package. We are now building the UML designer on top of the Netbeans Visual Library .

Features

• Simpler Palette

The current implementation of the palette is pretty complex. The current palette uses a click - multiple drop approach. In order to exit the drop mode, you have to either right click or hit the ESC key. To make the palette more intuitive, we have adopted the standard NetBeans palette behavior. The diagram palette can now accept nodes that have been dragged from the palette. Clicking on a node also puts the designer in drop mode. The multi-drop mode is still supported. By pressing the shift key when clicking on the diagram, the active palette node will remain active, and allow you to drop another model element.

• Context Palette

To help simply the palette we have added a context palette. The context palette will contain palette actions that are valid for a selected node. Usually the context palette will contain only edges, however that will not always be the case. For example on the Sequence diagram, the LifeLine node will also contain the destory action as well.
