    The "UML Reverse Engineer" feature does not build your diagrams. If you
    look in the "Model Explorer", you should notice that all of your classes
    have been brought into the project. If you would like to create a model
    diagram, you can drag the classes from the "Model Explorer" onto your blank
    diagram.
