Usually generics are represented as classifier’s template parameter. Here is the example how it looks like in the NetBeans UML Plugin:
This shows navigability. A can see (means it has an attribute referencing) B. In contrast B has no idea about/reference to A.

For two objects Foo and Bar we have: Dependency: class Foo { … fooMethod(Bar bar){} … } Association: class Foo { private Bar bar; … } Composition: (When Foo dies so does Bar) class Foo { … private Bar bar = new Bar(); … } Aggregation: (When Foo dies, Bar may live on) class Foo … Read more
your question is not very specific as all UML diagrams display some kind of dependency or pathway how to get data or make a call, so I’m not sure if I got substance of your question right 1. there is no such thing as one best UML diagram to show it all There is usually … Read more
Hmm, this seems to be a bit of an old question, but since I’ve been messing about with Doxygen configuration last few days, while my head’s still full of current info let’s have a stab at it – I think the previous answers almost have it: The missing option is to add COLLABORATION_GRAPH = YES … Read more
If else condition, also called alternatives in UML terms can indeed be represented in sequence diagrams. Here is a link where you can find some nice resources on the subject http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/3101.html
