Automatically Generate UML Instance Diagrams in NetBeans

Question

Is there any way to automatically generate an Instance Diagram of my project in NetBeans? Something like that: http://i.stack.imgur.com/015xT.png , http://i.stack.imgur.com/JKrNA.png

I managed to generate the class UML and the hierarchy diagram, but the instance diagram.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

No. NetBeans supports class diagram automatic creation, but automatic creation of instance diagrams is possible only analyzing the run of the application. It is absolutely useless - you'll have too MANY diagrams and elements. And object diagrams (that is their correct name, not instance ones) are created only for some specific instances and can be done by hand.
