Dependency Link Properties

This section describes properties specific to dependency links. Every element has general properties as well as specific properties. For more information, see General Properties. The composition of the Properties view changes depending on the element selected in the Diagram or UML Navigator view. You can view and modify values of properties through the Properties view.

Javadoc Properties

The Properties view for source-generating elements also displays Javadoc properties. Using javadoc tags enables you to automatically generate a complete, well-formatted API from your source code. You can enter a description and specify values for Javadoc tags applicable to the selected element. These values are used when you generate Javadoc using the Documentation Generation feature of Together (File > Export > UML Documentation). Filling in the Javadoc fields automatically generates appropriate tags in the Javadoc tags in the source code.

comment: Adds a comment to the source code. The comment is displayed in the generated documentation.
