Plugin s jednoduchým editorem diagramu tříd pro prostředí NetBeans a IntelliJ IDEA

The goal of this thesis is to develop a tool for creating and showing class diagrams as a support for developers. The main target group represents students of pro-graming courses in Java programing language who can find such tool as helpful because it gives them overview of their work. That is something what BlueJ IDE offers to them. The first part of this thesis is a theoretical explanation of modular applications and plugins. There is class diagrams description as part of UML standard as well. The purpose of this part is to give overview of such topic and show how could such tool be helpful to the developers. The next part of thesis is research among already available tools. There were test-ed tools available in integrated development environments IntelliJ IDEA and Net-Beans IDE as well as standalone applications. Every of that application was examined and evaluated. The evaluation parameters were based on functionality, complexity, and user experience, while used according to requirements described above. The last part of this thesis describes the development of author’s own tool. Firstly, there are defined requirements. Then there is made a concept of application, which fulfill these requirements. Based on that concept the development tools are chosen and described. The last chapters describe development and testing of the newly created application. The result of this thesis is a plugin enabling developer to create and view class diagram similar to the tool offered by BlueJ IDE. This plugin is provided in versions for integrated development environments IntelliJ IDEA and NetBeans IDE.
