How to Convert XML of a Selected Part of the Class Model

This task describes how to use the custom plug-in to convert the XML of a selected part of the class model to the UML tool format.

The plug-in can be either a Java class or an XSLT text file. If you use a Java class, it must implement the ITransformToUML(ExportToUML.jar) interface; the transformToUML() method receives an XML string as a parameter and returns a byte array that is written to the output file.

For details on the custom plug-in input, see Tool Plug-in Input.
