Open-Source tool in Java to parse source code to automatically draw UML class Diagram using PlantUML
This is part of the PlantUML Dependency algorithm, which uses java.lang.Class.forName for some
particular cases.
Indeed, when an object is parsed it may have several extensions and / or implementations which are not declared in
the imports and will not be parsed by the program. This mean that either the object is provided by the java.lang
library or the object is in the same package. If the object is in the same package and is parsed afterwards, the
dependency is identified, no problem in this case. But if the object is not parsed, it means that PlantUML
Dependency has to know if the object comes from java.lang or from the same package, and it uses java.lang.Class.forName
for that.
A feature request has been opened to improve this behavior, allowing to choose the JRE PlantUML Dependency is using for these cases. (opened feature 33)
