Merge feature is available when you want to import other project and merge it to your current project. There are two options for merging. [Easy Merge] : When there are conflicts between two projects, import contents of the prioritized project on another always. [Flexible Merge] : You can merge files by checking each conflict and deciding which model should be prioritized and overwritten on another.

This function allows you to display aliases (e.g. English and Japanese) on diagrams and is very useful for offshore development. Alias can be set to models in the Alias view.

JUDE exports Lists of Package, Class, UseCase, Diagram images and detailed information (such as Attribute, Operation and Association etc..) as documents in RTF format.

HTML Document (Javadoc) is available, it enables people who don’t have JUDE to see models that are designed in JUDE by using browser. - Export HTML in Javadoc - All detailed information of model can be refereed by clicking each model

You can create UseCase Description for each UseCse to describe the main business goals of the UseCase. Three UseCase Description Templates are provided as a default so you can create UseCase Description by using templates.

• JUDE Original Built-In Template
• Basic Template by Alistair Cockburn
• RUP Style

JUDE supports "Process" element for Activity Diagram. An information icon (parallelogram shaped icon) will show by setting up <> as a stereotype for Base Class of Object Node.

JUDE will generate two types of class diagrams by Class files:

• Class Diagrams
• Detailed Class Diagrams

By selecting [Auto Create Class Diagram/Detailed Class Diagram] on target model/class’s pop up menu, JUDE will generate Class Diagrams based on the target model information. Detailed Class Diagrams will include Attributes and Operations in and Class Diagram will be a simple class diagram without Attributes or Operations. This feature enables you to generate Class Diagram fast and easy. To complete the Class Diagram, you can add related classes by using [Show all related Classes in Diagram] option. Dependent classes are also displayed. In detailed Class diagrams, Attributes/Operations can be displayed.

Add related classes to a Class diagram with one single operation. By selecting [Show Related Classes] on pop-up menu of target class, all related classes and models will be added to the class in the a diagram automatically. This option enables you to generate Class diagrams more easily especially with [Auto Create Class Diagram] option.

You can modify information of models through XMI depending on your purposes such as displaying Class lists by loading XMI. Migration to other tools by using XMI is currently partly supported.
Please refer here for more details about the supported range.

The following detail options are available for printing in JUDE!

• Print Preview
• Set up of header, footer and logo..etc
• Print one diagram into multiple pages
• Set up print option per Diagram
• Set up print option per Project file

You can copy and paste diagram images into Microsoft Offce(TM) documents as vector (EMF) format. ([Tool]-[Export Image]) Pasted images will stay as clear as original and resizing and modifying are available. The data size gets smaller as well when shrinking the image size. See FAQ: "Can I paste diagrams on Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint?" for modifying pasted images.

When you are checking models in the Structure Tree and want to know where this model is used, you can select [All Related Diagrams] on model’s pop-up menu so it shows all diagrams that the selected model is used in and you can open the diagram and see where the model is located in the diagram. This function is very useful especially for large scale of models.

When you are working on diagram and want to know where the model belongs to in the Structure Tree, you can select [Show in Structure Tree] on model’s pop-up menu, so the Structure Tree expands to show where the selected model is. This function is available in [Diagram]/[Search] pane in the Project View as well.

You can specify an image for each Stereotype. By adding a Stereotype to model, the model element will be displayed as a specified image. This function enables you to create graphical display more easily.

You can convert Topics in Mind Map into UML, ER, Flowcharts and Data Flow Diagram models and vice versa! To convert, all you have to do is drag a topic/model from the Structure Tree then drop it onto a diagram where you want converted topic/model to be. Hyperlinks can be added to link to each model (Original and converted topic/model) if you like.

I want to attach documents that I made in another application or URL to models...

I want to make a link between related models in this project....

Hyperlink is the solution.
You can set up files (.txt, .jude, .xls, .doc..etc), URLs, other models in the project as target of hyperlinks. For example, if you create a Mind Map as a sketch then create a Class Diagram based on it and keep both diagrams. Once you modify models in Class Diagram, you can add a hyperlink to the Mind Map Topic to record which models have been modified.

You can draw Mind Maps and all diagrams with your favorite font in JUDE.

• Set font for all Diagrams
  You can set default font for each project. Select [Set Font] from Project's pop-up menu in the Structure Tree and select your favorite font!
• Set font for Mind Map Topics
  Select [Set Style] - [Set font] from Topic!
