Recovering Model

We are in the process of evaluating Java Studio for UML modeling. It has twice happened that we lost model use cases (i.e., they wouldn't show up in the diagram upon next start). Is there anything else that needs to be done besides hitting the Save button on all diagrams.

More importantly, is there a way to recover those from the report generated, which seems to have all the Use Cases that don't show up?

Thanks in advance.

saving the diagram only saves the presentation information (where the nodes are placed, the color of the nodes, etc). When you close NetBeans, you should also be prompted to save the UML project. Also you can use the Save All toolbar button to save the model.

What was your diagram name? Did it contain any special characters like colon or slash? See http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=84376Did you find any exceptions in messages.log?

I don't think it had any special characters; however, I was trying out cutting and pasting text in the document part of the use-cases, which may have led to crash of sorts. I have since then re-input the model and like the report generation feature.

Is there a way to attach text description/documents to the use cases. We have quite a long description in the sun open office documents.

Thanks.

Other than providing hyperlink in documentation to point to the text online or on local file system I cannot think of any means to "attach" a document. And this is only useful for report.

BTW, the possible cause that crashed your IDE while pasting text to documentation window has been fixed in the latest build.
