1. Install graphviz and ant, download UMLGraph fromĀ http://www.umlgraph.org/

2. Place UMLGraph.jar in your project, for example, under
lib/

3. Write or modify your ant script, for example:

4. Run this ant script.

5. You will get the UML class diagram as expected in the generated Java docs. Here’s one example (click to enlarge):
