UML Modeling on NetBeans, Part 1: Installation

This article show how to create UML Model on NetBeans and infers that you have already install NetBeans 5.5 (IDE) already. It divided into 4 parts:

Note: If you’re using NetBeans IDE 6.0, you don’t have to do this part because UML module is already integrated with NetBeans IDE 6.0.

  1. Part I: Installation
  2. Part II: Create a Use Case diagram
  3. Part III: Generate code from diagram
  4. Part IV: Generate diagram from code (Reverse Engineer)

To create UML Model on Netbeans, you need

  • NetBeansâ„¢ 5.5 integrated development environment (the IDE).
  • NetBeans 5.5, UML Modeling Beta module.

Install UML Modeling Beta module (Manual)

  1. Download NetBeans 5.5, UML Modeling Beta module and unzip the file.
  2. In NetBeans IDE, click Tools -> Update Center
  3. Select “Install Manually Downloaded Modules (.nbm Files).” in the lower left portion of the panel. Click Next.
  4. In the Select Modules to Install page, click Add and select the folder containg the extracted contents of the zip you downloaded in the first step, click Open. Then, select all 17 UML .nbm files. Click OK and click Next.
  5. All 17 UML .nbm files will appear in the Include in Install pane on the right. Click Next.
  6. Read and Accept the 4 UML licenses.
    The Download Modules page appears and progress is shown as the modules are read from the local folder.
    When progress is complete, click Next.
  7. Click Finish to continue with the installation of the module. This takes a few minutes after the Update Center wizard disappears.
  8. When the installation is complete, you will see the message ‘Turning on modules…done’ displayed in the lower left corner of the IDE window.

    When adding all the .nbm files I get the message:
    The following module dependencies could not be satisfied
    MODULE: org.netbeans.modules.uml.project/1 org.netbeans.modules.editor.lib/1 > 1.9.22.1module
    Module can be downloaded, but cannot be enabled.
    Include module in install list anyways?

    I select Yes but there is no New->Project->UML option

    What should I do? PANICK???

    To Dar Var,
    What version of NetBeans you’re using? I think you have the older version.

    To use this module, you should have NetBeans 5.5.
    Try download and install the latest one, you can find at my download page.

    Did you install UML Modeling Beta module?

    To verify that, Go Tools -> Module Manager.
    If you can’t see UML module that means you have to installed it first as show in this post.
