[OpenLayers-Dev] uml class diagram of OL 2.6?

[Ivan Grcic]

Hi team,

can we discuss little bit about this subject? Because it would be
really really usefull to have this. If we want to make it possible to
create UML(or something similar) from code automatically, where should
we start from? Is there a need to write more thoroughly natural docs
code, so its easier to make uml then...or should we look for some
programs like the one mentioned before:

http://www.jsuml.org/

Has anyone tried with this one? It uses Eclipse UML2 model editor...i
dont have any experience with it. Can someone maybe try to import OL
to this jsuml?

If nothing is working, i guess we can do it by hand like erik did it here...

erik you can tell us what excatlly we have to extract from code, so
maybe we can split the work...i guess it should be pretty fast to do
it if thers seeral ppl working on it!

br,

ivan

Anyone tried to
