UI diagram layout

Question

Wanted to generate a UI diagram (with nice layout) depicting relationships amongst network components. Which is the best Java based API to do such layouts with minimum fuss and light codebase.

Answer 1

Any uml tool should do the work

Take a look at UMLet or NetBeans as UML editors made in Java.

(BTW, Visio Is usually the standard tool for that job)

Answer 2

If you're logging for a Java API that can do layouts (e.g. arrange boxes in a hierarchical fashion without overlap), check out JGraph.
