Abstract
A system and methodology for providing a Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagram of a program for display in a graphical user interface of a development system is described. Relationships between a plurality of files of a program are determined using a compiler. When a request for display of a UML diagram is received, a UML diagram of the currently selected file is generated based upon the determined relationships between the currently selected file and other files of the program. The UML diagram displayed in the graphical user interface enables a user to navigate to a particular file of the program by selecting one of the nodes of the UML diagram. The system enables a user to view source code or a UML diagram of a particular component displayed in the UML diagram.
