I just wanted to create the class diagram of my project in Eclipse.The project is already implemented,suggest me any tool that sketch the Diagram of this project in Eclipse.
Take a look at Model Development Tools (MDT).
For reverse engineering, you can use JUPE.
ObjectAid generates classes diagram when you are simply drag and dropping classes from Project manager to the diagram.
UMLGraph creates class/activities diagrams automatically from the code and append them to javadocs.
As far as I know, both work for Java. I don't know if they support other languages.
Papyrus is the very powerful tool for hand creation of any UML and other diagrams

simple question.
Why Eclipse Modelling Framework doesn't support Use-Case diagram ?
There are many diagrams, but no use-case:
also, i study the tutorial at Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) - Tutorial and just created a "Ecore Modelling Project". I was not able to create any "Use-case" diagram.
thanks for reply
In general, the goal of EMF is to specify modeling languages, like activity or class diagrams. Editors for the UML language have been implemented based on the capabilities of EMF, such as the Papyrus, MagicDraw or UML Designer tools (but there are others as well). Assuming you are looking for an UML modeler, you should look at the specific Eclipse-based UML tools.
EMF on the other hand provides a few modeling languages that ease the definition of other modeling languages, most notable the ones called 'Ecore' and 'Generator model'.
It is possible to install both EMF and concrete modeling languages in the same Eclipse installation, but they have very different purposes.
I think that your problem is that in your Eclipse you have installed:
Ecore Tools which allows you to create Ecore diagrams
UML Designer which allows you to create UML diagrams
The Activity Explorer you see is provided by UML Designer and so it is there to create UML diagrams only.
I think that you use UML Designer 7.0 and there was an issue with it about the activity explorer which opens even for non UML project. Now this issue is fixed in the 7.1 version of UML Designer.
To find how to create new diagrams with Ecore Tools you can have a look to the documentation.
I have created MyExample.uml file through Eclipse UML2 package.
(I followed http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/UML2/Getting_Started_with_UML2 )
Then I got the XMI file defining UML components and relations.
Then, how can I draw a graphical UML diagram from this XMI automatically?
Disclaimer: I haven't tested this so can't confirm it works. It is documented however.
Install Papyrus.
Follow these instructions to generate a diagram.
Like you I suspect, I assumed the standard Eclipse Modelling Tools would include graphical editors. If they do I didn't find them. By installing Papyrus I was able to create uml diagrams manually; hopefully you can generate one too.
If you try this, it would be good to know if it works. Again apologies for not testing before posting, I don't have access to a suitable environment at the moment.
hth.
I want to add workflow in my eclipse rcp. Please provide me some guidlines.
I tried few plugins, but they were not what I was looking for.
What you want to essentially do is create an Eclipse modeling project. The way it works is by creating your own EMF models. All your tree nodes with their attributes are "modelled" in EMF.
Then you can convert this model to an GEF/Draw2d Diagram using something called GMF(Graphical Modeling Framework).
EMF :
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/
GMF :
The GMF Tooling project provides a model-driven approach to generating graphical editors in Eclipse.
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/gmp/?project=gmf-tooling
Tutorial : I would suggest looking at the following tutorial to get a feel of the whole thing.

I install Papyrus at here. So how to generate code using Papyrus ?
To generate the java code from UML you can follow the below steps.
New Project->EMF Project Press Next
give the project name
In Model Importer page select UML model and press Next
Select UML model which is created by using Papyrus.Press next
In Package selection page select all the root packages
click finish, it will generate genmodel.
Use the genmodel to generate Java code.
I hope this information helps.
In order to generate any text artifacts from UML models in the Eclipse Modelling Environment (i.e. Papyrus, TopCased, etc.) you should use Acceleo which is an eclipse implementation of the MOF models to text transformation language, the OMG standard language for models to text transformations.
It is a very well made technology but it could take some time to become familiar with it especially if you do not know MOF and the Model Driven Architecture.
QVT is another OMG language but its aim is models to models transformations (not models to text). It is therefore not the right answer to your question.
These can help you.
Papyrus Tutorials
Papyrus is an Eclipse lugin for modeling, you need to use additional Eclipse plugin to do model transformations. In the other answer you can find link to tutorials. First of them indicates you should use QVTo.

http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/qvto/doc
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/m2m/downloads/index.php?project=qvtoml
To generate code from a UML diagram created with Papyrus must create a run configuration for Papyrus.
More information and a demo video at the following links.

http://www.papyrusuml.org/home/liblocal/docs/Documentation/Java-Code-Gen/Papyrus-GenJava-GenerateCode.swf
You need to install Papyrus Java Classes Generator.
Help --> install new software
work with : http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/papyrus/updates/releases/mars
Check group items by category
Check show only the latest version of available software
Check Papyrus Java
Next --> accept terms and conditions
finish
Now, in your model.di : right click on your class --> Java --> Generate java code.
And you're done !
It doesn't work with Java because even if you get a code from a class diagram then this code is so dirty that it is totally unusable.
It seems that this tool has been written by modelers who have never done any java codding :-)
I haven't found an apropriate diagram type to make an object diagram. I'd like to visualize my object graphs in the application, rather than class inheritances. Currently I do that with "class diagram" but of course that's not really fine because it looks like they all inherit from eachother. Are there more diagram types for installing?
Not yet. They currently support only a few:
UML Diagrams
The NetBeans UML plugins presently supports the following UML diagrams: Activity diagram, Class diagram, Sequence diagram, State diagram, and Use Case diagram. [http://www.netbeans.org/features/uml/]
As of Netbeans 6.5 the UML plugin has ceased feature development.
The good news is that they are partnering with Visual Paradigm to provide complete UML 2.0 based functionality
