Specifying the Default Starting Diagram

The New Project Wizard contains step-by-step instructions for creating a new UML Modeling project. Using this wizard, you can specify the default starting diagram for a UML modeling project.

To use the New Project Wizard, follow these steps:

  1. From the menubar, select New > Project to invoke the New Project Wizard.


  2. From the left column of the dialog, select Together.


  3. Select Java Modeling Project, and click Next.


  4. Provide the information required by the wizard, as listed in the table below, clicking Next to proceed through the following steps.


    Field name Description/Notes

    Project name

    Filename for the project file

    Project contents:

    Use default

    When checked, specifies the default location for the project. By default, the project is created in the "workspace" directory.

    Directory

    To update this field, be sure to uncheck the Use default field. Then click Browse to select a new location for the project file.

    Start with Diagram:

    Use default

    When checked, specifies that the Default Package diagram will be created. Use this diagram to illustrate the physical project content in the primary root package. The default diagram shows Package icons representing subdirectories of the primary root directory as well as the classes (and other elements) of any source code files found in the primary root.

    Diagram name

    To update this field, be sure to uncheck the Use default field described above. This activates a drop-down list allowing you to specify the starting diagram and a text field to specify the name of the diagram.

  5. Click Finish.


    NB: You can click Finish any time while using the New Project Wizard, and Together creates a project with the criteria provided. There is a final page in the wizard, the Java Build Path page. The Java Build Path page allows you to select options indicating settings for the Java project. To view the entire New Project Wizard, click Next until the Next button is disabled. For more information on the New Java Project Wizard, refer to the documentation set provided with your IDE. From the menubar, choose Help > Help Contents.
