A Java Element Filter accepts or rejects any given Java element. Java element filters are used for controlling how Java elements are displayed on class diagrams, how generated class diagrams are populated and other functions such as selecting particular classes and filtering down large groups of classes as they are added to a class diagram.
The Java elements we can create filters for are:
Until now we have been using only the Standard Filters which are the predefined filters included with the product.
In this section we look at how you can define your own filters which recognize Java elements which have project-specific significance.
For example your project may use:
Most Java projects have one or more such conventions, and it makes good sense to reflect these conventions in the class diagrams.
