You can use domain modeling class diagrams to add a method
to a Java class or interface.
Before you begin
You must have a domain modeling class diagram with Java classes or interfaces open.
About this task
Tip: When you add methods to classes or interfaces,
fully qualified names will be added for type proposals in packages
if the Java Editor Code Assist's default Add
import instead of qualified name preference option is
cleared. Otherwise, import declarations will be added automatically.
To
add a method to a Java class or interface, complete
the following steps:
Procedure
- In the diagram editor, right-click a Java class
or interface; then click .
- In the Create Java Method wizard,
in the Name field, type a name for the new
method.
- To make the method a constructor, select the Constructor check
box.

click a method return type and specify dimensions.

then in the Create Parameter window, type a name,
select a parameter type, specify dimensions, and click OK.

Note: You can also use the action bar or the
Methods tab in the Properties view to add methods to Java classes and interfaces.
