To effectively use Unified Modeling Language when developing Java applications, developers must have a thorough understanding of the UML elements and how these elements map to Java.

UML is used as a representation of the Java programming language. Using sample class and sequence diagrams, you can see how UML conveys unambiguous code-mapping information to developers.

In our third installment on UML we'll show you how to use sequence diagrams as a tool in your application development and an understanding of object interaction.

If one changes the code (even outside of Together), then the class diagram is updated automatically. Together does support the other 8 UML diagrams, and where possible tries to keep these in sync. If ...
