I just inherited a J2SE project and will be working on it on Eclipse. I’d like to get some diagrams out of the existing code and I’m looking for good UML plugins to use with Eclipse.
Any recommendations?

Honestly, I think your best bet isn’t an Eclipse plugin at all, but Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems. Its cost is reasonable ($200-300 US for the Professional version), and it can reverse engineer an existing code base into UML. I’ve used it on several projects, and have found it invaluable whenever I needed the 20,000-foot overview on an existing project.
Also, I haven’t used its UML capabilities extensively, but MyEclipse (for $65 US) claims to have reverse-engineering capabilities as well.
