UML to Code

UML to Code is a Visual Studio Code extension that generates source code from
PlantUML class diagrams (.puml).

The extension scans your UML files and automatically generates clean, structured Java classes based on your diagrams.

🧠 How It Works (Important)

1. You write your class diagrams in PlantUML (.puml)
2. All UML files must be placed inside a folder named UML at the root of your workspace
3. When your UML diagrams are complete, you run the command Scan UML
4. The extension parses the diagrams and generates Java code next to the .puml files

⚠️ The extension does not generate UML diagrams.
You must write valid PlantUML code yourself.

📁 Required Project Structure

Your workspace must contain a folder named UML:

✨ Features

• Parse PlantUML class diagrams (.puml)
• Generate Java classes
• Support for:
  • Classes
  • Attributes
  • Methods
  • Constructors
  • Visibility (public, private, protected)
  • static attributes
  • Automatic final detection (constants in uppercase)
• Recursive scan of the UML/ folder and subfolders
• Generated files are created next to their .puml files

📂 Supported UML Syntax

Example PlantUML file:

@startuml
class Circle {
    - posX : double
    - posY : double
    - radius : double

    + {static} RADIUS_DEFAULT : double

    + Circle()
    + calculateAir() : double
}
