Rational Application Developer provides diagrams which enable you to view code from different perspectives using UML 2.0 notation. These diagrams are referred to as UML visualization, not to be confused with UML Modeling. All UML visualizations in Rational Application Developer are synchronized with a source file. Modifications to the source file will dynamically change the diagram and vice versa. This tutorial introduces you to the process of creating UML and non-UML diagrams using Rational Application Developer.
