UML class diagram enum

Solution 1:

They are simply showed like this:

_______________________
|   <<enumeration>>   |
|    DaysOfTheWeek    |
|_____________________|
| Sunday              |
| Monday              |
| Tuesday             |
| ...                 |
|_____________________|

And then just have an association between that and your class.

Solution 2:

If your UML modeling tool has support for specifying an Enumeration, you should use that. It will likely be easier to do and it will give your model stronger semantics. Visually the result will be very similar to a Class with an <<enumeration>> Stereotype, but in the UML metamodel, an Enumeration is actually a separate (meta)type.

+---------------------+
|   <<enumeration>>   |
|    DayOfTheWeek     |
|_____________________|
| Sunday              |
| Monday              |
| Tuesday             |
| ...                 |
+---------------------+

Once it is defined, you can use it as the type of an Attribute just like you would a Datatype or the name one of your own Classes.

+---------------------+
|        Event        |
|_____________________|
| day : DayOfTheWeek  |
| ...                 |
+---------------------+

If you're using ArgoEclipse or ArgoUML, there's a pulldown menu on the toolbar which selects among Datatype, Enumeration, Signal, etc that will allow you to create your own Enumerations. The compartment that normally contains Attributes can then be populated with EnumerationLiterals for the values of your enumeration.

Here's a picture of a slightly different example in ArgoUML:

Solution 3:

Typically you model the enum itself as a class with the enum stereotype
