Quick Class Hierarchy View Using UML

Posted on by Konstantin Bulenkov

IntelliJ IDEA 8.1.1 will support Show Class Hierarchy action that displays class hierarchy of a selected type. Just place the caret at any type in the code editor and press Ctrl+Alt+U.

    There might be a missing key here… This only works for me when i press shift+ctrl+alt+u.

    I think there is missing more than just a key … because shift+ctrl+alt+u is not the function mentioned. The “show class hierarchy” action displays the UML diagram as a popup and not in a new editor tab as shift+ctrl+alt+u is doing.

    Is this function implemented in IDEA 8.1?

    Sorry, it was a misprint. Actually, this feature will be in 8.1.1 and it exists for a long time in Maia’s EAPs.

    Cool, are you going to put this in Resharper too?

    Is it possible to use the uml feature of intelli-j for flex development, too?

    Thomas, multi-language UML support is coming. I believe it will be in Maia very soon. For Flex, PHP, JavaScript and maybe for other languages

    I just tested the new feature with the latest EAP release of Intellij. It’s quite useful since you can see the whole class hierarchy at a glance. But I’m wondering why the popup takes 1 second to appear after pressing ctrl+alt+U. Is that normal?

    @Scala users: It seems that the feature also works for Scala (at least a bit). The Scala classes are already drawn but the arrows between the classes are missing.

    It’s time necessary to build UI and relationships. I’ll do my best to improve performance in next EAPs.

    Is it possible to show the interaction between cooperating classes ?

    How is this better than Code Navigator http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=3202 ?

    I’m also wondering… 😉

    Is it possible to show a diagram of a class and all its implementations (rather than its parents)?
    I seem to have to add each implementing class one by one

Mix and Match Languages with Language Injections in IntelliJ IDEA

In almost any application, there are situations when you need to work on small elements of code in other languages embedded in your project code. For example, these can be fragments of HTML code in Java, or regular expressions sprinkled around your application. Working with such code elements is super easy in IntelliJ IDEA because it features language injections. They bring code highlighting, completion, error detection, and other coding assistance features to embedded code fragments. Let’s take a closer look at how language injections work. (more…)
