Class Diagram Editor
The diagram editor is used to display java element structures and their relationships. The diagram can work at package or Class level or mix levels.
The diagram content is always synchronised to the code: changes can be done via the diagram or via the java editor. The diagram enables a wider view of code, it's easy to view relationships of elements (see Element navigation example).
Some additional features of the diagram help in modeleling: preferences to display default element contents and wires, modeling assistants, etc...
