Mini-project 3: Unified Modeling Language Diagramming

Instructions

The purpose of this mini-project is to give you practice making UML diagrams.

Create a module called MP3. In MP3, create a new package called "UML" (right click on the M3 module in the Packages tool window to the left, select "New" → "Package"; name it "UML"). The package should now appear in the Package tool window, under the MP3 module. Right click the UML package and select "Diagrams" → "Show Diagram...".

In the diagram editor, click the following buttons so they look like the screen shot below: Fields, Constructors, Methods, Edge Creation Mode, and Show Dependencies.

Following the process we used in class, make a UML diagram for the following set of classes:

• an interface named Growl with the method growl, which returns nothing and takes no parameters
• a class named Animal with the private data members name and owner, as well as setters and getters for them, and a constructor that sets them
• a class named Cat that is a subclass of Animal and implements the Growl interface
• a class named Tabby that is a subclass of Cat
• a class named Flamepoint that is a subclass of Cat
• a class named Dog that is a subclass of Animal and implements the Growl interface
• a class named Bird that is a subclass of Animal and has the private data member beakLength, along with a setter and getter, and constructor for that member

Note that for some situations, it may be easier to edit the resulting class in code. That's easy to do in IntelliJ as it automatically creates a Java class for each UML diagram class. When you're finished, you can save your diagram to a JPG or PNG. Check this to make sure everything is displayed correctly (I've see the the PNG appear all black, but JPG worked fine for me).
