Creating a plugin for displaying UML class diagrams and kopenograms in IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm

The goal of this thesis is to design and implement a plugin for the IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm development environments, which would allow its users to visualize their Java or Python source codes using kopenograms and UML class diagrams. The plugin is designed based on an analysis of similar plugins and tools that have been developed as part of previous theses, and unifies their functionality into a single plugin for the IntelliJ platform. The plugin helps with better orientation in source codes by using diagrams and can be used as a teaching aid in Java and Python programming cours es, as well as by other programmers. The first part of the paper deals with the introduction of information sources, followed by introduction of kopenograms and class diagrams and the Java and Python pro gramming languages, with special attention to their comparison. Next there are chap ters devoted to the IntelliJ platform and the IDEA and PyCharm development environments, with a separate chapter focusing on plugin development for this plat form. Finally, similar plugins and tools for creating diagrams developed in previous theses are introduced and discussed. The second part of the paper focuses on the development of a new plugin. It starts by proposing a solution based on an analysis of previous work on similar plugins, includ ing a description of the requirements and features of the plugin. Then the implemen tation of the proposed solution is described, followed by a manual for the installation and operation of the newly created plugin. The last chapter focuses on the testing of the developed plugin and the tools used for this purpose. At the end of the paper, possible future improvements or extensions to the plugin are suggested.
