Working with the Component Browser

When a class is selected from the Package Browser, its components, connectors and extended classes are displayed in the Component Browser.

The model (components and connectors) contained in the active class is represented in the diagram layer.

In the displayed active class, note that:

  • The first level of the tree shows components directly declared in the active class.
  • The levels below show components that are extended from other classes.

This task shows you how to:
