It appears that the NetBeans UML plugin has been discontinued, as per a discussion on the NetBeans forums. This was a great, free tool with nice model->code and code->model generation.

There are a number of other UML NetBeans plugins out there. However, I've never used any of them. Any suggestions?

I had also a problem with installing UML for my NetBeans 6.8. Most of solutions proposed in the Web doesn't seem to work. Today I have finally find how to install UML plugin on NetBeans 6.8.

Step by step explanation of the process of installation of the plugin:

1. Go to http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/netbeans/updates/6.7.1/uc/final/beta/modules/uml6/ and download all .nbm files from there.
2. Open NetBeans and go to Tools->Plugins->Downloaded
3. Click on Add plugins… button
4. Select all .nbm files you have downloaded from the source mentioned above.
5. Follow step by step wizard of NetBeans to install plugins

Hope that helps you also. As for me I am enjoying UML in NetBeans starting from today.
Good luck.

So after reading a bunch of the internet, the team responsible for the NeatBeans UML plugin is working on it, but it isn't done yet. They have decided to start over because the old code is unsustainable, which is why it doesn't work with 7.x.

Nevertheless, as this post points out, people want UML Diagrams, so below is a link to my blog, which provides a way of getting UML Diagrams of your classes from NetBeans 7.x.

You cannot generate code from diagrams with my solution, but you CAN generate UML Diagrams in your JavaDocs from your classes in your project. This is a Code -> Model solution only. Hope it helps.

The bundled UML plugin was removed from 7.0 and is undergoing a rewrite as EidosUML. The community edition of Visual Paradigm's Smart Development Environment works with Netbeans 7.0 afaik
