====================================================================================================================

Green is a LIVE round-tripping editor, meaning that it supports both software engineering and reverse engineering. You can use green to create a UML class diagram from code, or to generate code by drawing a class diagram.

The editor features a simple point-and-click interface. Right-clicking in the editor brings up a context-sensitive menu that includes features such as the refactoring and quick-fix functionality. Green supports exporting files to JPG, PNG and GIF formats, as well as saving them as Green UML projects, so that you can share you diagrams without any issues.

What's new in this version

Please note that Green UML is effectively a collection of plug-ins (see the structure overview). Development of each plug-in is performed in a separate Eclipse project. There are also additional projects: an update site project GreenUpdateSite (used to create an Eclipse plug-in installation web site), and feature projects: GreenFeature, GreenRelationshipsFeature and GreenSVGSaveFeature (used to package groups of plug-ins together into installable and updatable units which are then uploaded to the update site).

Requirements to develop Green UML:

• Eclipse Modelling Tools (package Neon R)
• GMF Tooling

What can be improved:

• Better Auto layout algorithm so that it takes in account interfaces and other packages
• Better dark mode implementation, specifically add dark more for palette
• Add the ability to generate a diagram for a whole project, with included decompilation for .jar files
• Additional functionality

Bugs

Please report bugs to GreenUML/issues on GitHub. Please note that we do not guarantee bug fixes or updates in the future.
