## About

NClass is a free tool to easily create UML class diagrams with C# and Java language support. The user interface is designed to be simple and user-friendly for easy and fast development. Initially the project was developed by the great Balasz Tihanyi on [sourceforge](http://nclass.sourceforge.net/), but the project has gone inactive due the lack of time. 

Still, NClass is a great tool, although it is missing some important features. The goal of this project is to restart the development of NClass, adding the missing features. 

## :computer: Existing features

 - C# and Java support with many language specific elements

 - Simple and easy to use user interface

 - Inline class editors with syntactic parsers for easy and fast editing

 - Source code generation

 - Reverse engineering from .NET assemblies (thanks to Malte Ried)

 - Configurable diagram styles

 - Printing / saving to image

 - Multilingual user interface

 - Mono support for non-Windows users

## :construction: Some of the things to come

  - Bringing the NClass' support of C# and Java up-to-date with current version of the languages

  - Sequence diagrams

  - Use Case diagrams -> done ✔️

  - Undo/Redo -> done ✔️

  - Many more to come. If you have an idea, don't hesitate to open an issue

## 🛠️ How to build

- at root folder level run:

        git submodule sync --recursive

- then go to < root >\src\AssemblyImport\lib\NReflect build nreflect with visual studio or run

        

        msbuild /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU"

  This implies that you have msbuild in your path.

- build NClass with Visual Studio or msbuild
