Unified modelling language (UML) is a visual modelling language, which has gained popularity among software practitioners. The significance of automatic generation of object-oriented code from UML diagrams has increased due to its benefits, such as, cost reduction and accuracy. This paper extends our work on a tool for automatic generation of Java code structure from UML diagrams. In this UML class diagram is given as input to the tool to generate java code structure. We can use that structure for any program by coding manually for the desire output. Using already defined structure reduces cost to build the complete executable code. The extension includes a more detailed overview of the code generation tool regarding its architecture and code generation process. The propose approach only uses UML class diagram to build java code structure which is convenient for programmers and for cost reduction.
