UMLpakket

UMLpakket is a Java library that provides tools for working with the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Its primary purpose is to facilitate the creation, manipulation, and visualization of UML diagrams programmatically. The library offers functionalities to define various UML elements such as classes, attributes, operations, relationships (like inheritance, association, and dependency), and states.

Developers can use UMLpakket to generate UML diagrams directly from their code or to model complex systems in a structured way. It supports the generation of different UML diagram types, including class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and state machine diagrams. The library aims to simplify the process of integrating UML modeling into the software development lifecycle, enabling automated documentation and design generation.

UMLpakket is designed to be flexible, allowing users to customize the appearance and layout of the generated diagrams. It can often export diagrams in common image formats such as PNG and SVG, making them easily shareable and embeddable. The library is typically used in environments where automated UML generation is beneficial, such as in code generation tools, documentation generators, or for educational purposes in software engineering courses. Its programmatic approach allows for dynamic creation and modification of models based on runtime information or specific design patterns.
