The problem is that this would only work for things like classes,
interfaces, and enumerations. It will not work with operations and
attributes. Then the next question is what happens if more than one
comment is attached to the element? Which could especially occur if
the model element is on more than one diagram. For these reasons I
personally think the documentation view is a good solution.

engineering. Maybe there is a possible future feature to link
associated UML comments to/from javadocs?

does not have a way to display a model elements documentation on the
diagram. The only way to display the documentation on a diagram is via
the Comment element, but as you stated it does not effect the code
generation process. To make is easier to see and edit the
documentation we created the documentation view. When a model element
is selected (via the diagram or project explorer) the documentation
view will show the documentation for the selected model element.
To display the documentation view use the menu Window | Other | UML
Documentation. You can also use the keysroke CTRL-SHIFT-D.

Hi Again,
Q: I have a "class" for example... and in that I can add some
documentation about that class (right click properties ->
documentation). That's awesome because it's round-trip and goes to/from
javadoc, however I can't get the documentation to display in a UML
diagram (specifically class diagram for what its worth). Is there a way
to display this documentation in the diagram? Because creating external
comments and links is overhead and they don't do the impressive
round-trip behavior.
Thanks for anyone reading & answering :)
