As with modeling other code in Modeler, you model Java code using the Class Modeling facilities in Modeler. In addition, you can model Java specific information using the Stereotypes and Tag Definitions of the Java Profile package.

The Examples database includes the Heart Monitor Java model, which demonstrates how to model a Java application in Modeler. The Read Me text diagram in the Heart Monitor Java model provides instructions for generating and building the provided Heart Monitor application using the Eclipse Java development environment. For information about working with the Hear Monitor Java simulation, see Overview of the heart monitor Java simulation.

If you reverse engineer Java code to a model that does not contain the Java profile, the Reverser creates a Java Profile in the Model; however, the Java profile may contain only the Stereotypes and Tag Definitions required for the code you reverse engineered. In addition, each Stereotype and Tag Definition of the Java Profile package will not include a description of its purpose:

• If you want to add a complete and documented Java profile to a Model that does not contain the Java Profile package, see Adding the Java profile package to a model (Java code).

• If the Reverser has created a Java profile in your Model and you want to update it so that it is complete and includes the Stereotype and Tag Definition descriptions, see Updating the Java profile package in a model (Java code).
