Roco
Roco is the name of a small Rational Rose add-in which
imports the Deputy export of a POM's dependency graph into Rational Rose as UML classes connected by UML dependencies.
Roco is distributed with Deputy and the Deputy BSD license also applies to Roco.
To install Roco, execute /roco/setup.exe. If you need to change the suggested installation directory D:\Programme\Roco\
for some reason, you need to patch the Windows registry after the execution of the setup as follows:
-
Open the file roco.reg, which you find in the directory you installed Roco in,
and change the value D:\Programme\Roco to the directory you installed Roco in.
-
Double-click roco.reg to update the registry.
To use Roco to create a UML dependency diagram in Rational Rose go about as follows:
-
Open a POM in Deputy and apply the rules to it to compute the dependency graph.
-
Now choose the menu item 'File/Export as Dependency Graph...' and save the graph to a file 'dependency-graph.xml'.
-
Start Rational Rose with an empty model, choose menu item 'Tools/Roco/Import Dependency Graph...'.
and select the file saved in the previous step.
-
Now you can drag the generated classes on a diagram and arrange them as desired. Dependency arrows will be drawn
automatically by Rose when you place related classes on the diagram.
