Navigating the Together Modeling Perspective

Together provides a Modeling Perspective for designing projects in UML and creating source code for your project. Note that a central feature of Together is its ability to simultaneously synchronize diagrams and source code. The Together Modeling Perspective is shown below:

To view the Modeling Perspective:

1. Choose Window > Open Perspective > Together Modeling.

   
   

2. Choose Window > Show View > Diagram View.
   

The Modeling Perspective has four main areas:

• Navigation view – By default, this area contains the following tabs:
  • UML Explorer – UML tree of projects that you can use to manage elements, open, create, delete, etc.
  • Navigator – Standard view
  • Patterns Recognizer – Lists recognized patterns found in projects
• Diagram view – Displays created and opened diagrams. When using multiple diagrams, this view provides a tab for each diagram.
• Properties view – In the Modeling Perspective, this view displays the properties for a selected element. The properties for each element are usually divided into four categories:
  • Description – Textual description of element
  • Hyperlinks – Links to other elements or external files/documents
  • Common properties – UML properties
  • Requirements – Requirement information
• Java Editor – Standard Java editor
