java - uml

Support

Hi, what is your experience with java-uml roundtrip? I have managed to import Java classes and create a UML class diagram. Previously I have used Eclipse EMF and it has an essential feature that enables you to edit the model (class diagram) in a tree-table-like view (hierarchical structure). When the model is huge (several hundred classes) its problematic to add new elements via drag and drop.

1. Is this available in the SW ideas modeller?

2. Also, can I connect to git and push the changes directly to the project repository?

3. Is it possible to exclude some classes when generating code (as they have custom code)?
