[ot] A UML tool for a new Java project

I am working on the new Java project and need a UML tool to get it start. I am wondering whether anyone one can recommend such tool or not. It can be either stand alone or as an Eclipse plug-in. It shall be able to handle at least 50 classes.
Thanks.

Is it any good? I haven't tried it but we're
evaluating UML tools here and it's on my list to play
with.
PS.If you mean SDE....
I have only used the personal edition at home, and the other versions have more functionality available
My impressions, FWIW, are
- easier to use than rational rose (I find this one which I have to use at work to be a pain), although, paradoxically enough, they are not that dissimilar in appearance
- I was able to create some reasonably complex models without any problems
- easy to install and start using - no great learning curve
- I tried importing a model I had exported from rose and that did not work very well at all.
- this applies to version 2.2

Are there any uml tools on linux ?

I'm looking for a simple uml tool in linux.Because I'm doing my excercise from school and I want to do it in linux instead of switching to windows. And at least, it can import and export uml file from staruml.
Thanks guys

I'd suggest Umbrello from KDE SC. It is outstanding tool. The only issue — it is not very stable, so you should save your progress frequently.
From it's advantages I'd like to mention
1. UML is virtually backed by code (dunno, how to explain correctly), this is not only a graphic editor. You can create, f.ex. custom datatypes, make all possible relations, and all your actions will be then represented as graphics.
2. It supports usecase diagrams, class, component, deployment and relation diagrams. Moreover, for the last type it can generate a valid SQL code.
Ideally, it should generate code for class diagrams too, but the last time I used it, this feature was only declared, but not implemented. At least, for Java.
Also there are Java ArgoUML and Violet.
The first one is also a real UML editor and is even better than Umbrello, it has no relation diagrams, but supports flowcharts, sequence diagrams and some more.
And the other is just a graphic editor, like DIA.

Round Trip UML Tool

Looking for suggestions for a round trip UML tool. Mainly I'm interested in being able to extract UML diagrams from Java source. Ideally, open source, but I'm open to anything if it's really good.
So far I've found ArgoUML, but the support for reverse engineering UML seems spotty.
I've also heard good things about Together and Rational, but both of those seem very expensive...
Thanks for any thoughts,
Johh

I'd be curious to know your reasons for this, given
that
you seem to have quite a bit of experience.UML diagrams created by humans can sometimes show their intent more clearly than code by obscuring details and isolating the important abstractions. Unfortunately, maintaining that sort of UML diagram is expensive. I find it's cheaper to document the important abstractions and original intent with plain text comments.
There are impedance mismatches between UML and all popular programming languages. This forces automated reverse engineering to either arbitrarily reduce detail across the board or burden the diagrams with trivial details. The purpose of a model is to throw away some information. That's why 1:1 scale maps are not popular. Automated systems aren't smart enough to know which information to throw away.
Also, UML is sort of like Esperanto or Lojban. They might be useful in a pinch, but very few people want to speak them all the time. Automatically translating source to UML loses idiomatic information, and it turns out programming idioms convey a lot of useful information between experienced developers.
It seems to me having UML diagrams for other people's
code is especially useful, and can greatly ease the
process
of coming to understand it. Hence my special interest
in a
good reverse engineering tool. But I like UML for
aiding my
own design as well.I used to like it, but after I became more familiar with OO concepts I found it just slowed me down. Perhaps it is helpful while learning. I'm glad I know it, I just don't use it.

Uml tools for jdeveloper

hi
is there any UML Tools for JDeveloper that works on windows and mac or any one of them that does code engineering and database modeling also ?

It includes Class diagrams, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, etc.
Basically create a new application + project, then via the New Gallery (File -> New), select General -> UML in the New Gallery Dialog, and on the right hand side are the UML options.
Regards,
CM.

UML tool is very, very, very slow.

I use NetBean 5.5Bete EE and UML tool is too slow. Openning the class diagram (with 8 classes and 1 note) takes about 10 sec, but ther is more!
Scrolling this diagram takes 1 sec for one line and 100% CPU time!!!
Is there any solution?
P.S. I've posted similar topic see http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=98899 but I decided to post it on this forum, too, because Java Studio and NetBeans use this same UML tools./i]

Hi.
This is presumably the same problem mentioned in this other post on this forum:
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=96551&tstart=0
I am seeing an exception in the log -- I am running the 3GHz P-IV, 1GB RAM, Win XP, and it's a laptop (desktop processor) with an NVidia GeForce FX Go5200 graphics. This is a fresh JSE8 install, and there are 3 sessions in the log. The first session does not log this exception. I ran the update manager after that session, and the sessions after the update log this exception. Does it mean anything?:

Integrated UML tool for ABAP programming

Hi,
I heard that SAP is planning to release (or already release) a tool for creating UML class diagram. This tool is availaible as transaction Is it true? If yes where I can found information about that?
P.S. I know that area availaible external UML tool, but I'm not interested with.
BR, Tomek

hi Daniel,
First of all thanks for the solution you had for the expanding of the bsp tree, i had to do it today, thanks to you (and Thomas Jung) was very fast. Where can i find the uml class diagram, i have already the new generation abap nw 7.02.
Thanks, Ioan.
[Edit]: not in se24 but in se80, right click the class , show/uml diagram

UML Tool for ABAP?

Is there a UML Tool for ABAP?

I have never tried it but there is a link available for IBM Rational Rose -> ABAP. It was created by Ensemble Systems. The following is a link to some information:
http://www.ensemble-systems.com/RoseABAP.html

UML tool: plugin vs. standalone

We use Eclipse in our company and are looking for a UML tool.
What is better: A plugin or a standalone tool?
Or do you have any other ideas (what is important concerning an UML tool)?

I am a beginner in UML and programming. But I tell you my opinion.
What you suggest any painting tool could do (except the reverse engeneering for documentation of the design).
I think it would be handy to have most information (UML and of course source code) available inside the IDE. So I prefer a plugin.
If you need to maintain a component, you have everything together: analysis diagrams and design diagrams, all accessible with the IDE. So you waste no time using another standalone tool looking for the UML documentation or even make errors because of that extra effort. We have many packages and our components are spread across different packages.
I think forward engineering is useful. Many of our programmers are inexperienced with UML. If they have a tool with roundtrip engineering then this helps them learning UML because they see the results in the code. Further there is no need to convert the diagram manually to source code (which means spending extra time) because of forward engineering. Its easy to adjust the output code to the team preferences. This can be done with a few mouse clicks in Eclipse.
If the programmer creates and maintains the UML design documentation while he programs a component, then this helps himself to keep track of it. Thus he will be faster finishing his work in my eyes. He will also do less errors because he uses UML to keep track of his work. Our components can be quite complex, using each other in all possible ways.
I agree that it is important to have a nearly perfect roundtrip engineering. It should not be repository based but stored in the source code.
Reverse Engineering is limited in most tools to class diagrams. But reverse engineering can be also applied to sequence and collaboration diagrams.
And if a UML tool supports requierements engineering it helps you to locate the piece of code very easily which you need to change if you have to do a software change.
I used Poseidon free edition to reverse engineer a component. It was uselesst to me. We use a framework to create components and the components are spread across different packages. It is not possible in Poseidon to import a few classes and let Poseidon import also all classes which are connected to the imported classes. Difficult to explain. With TogetherWSE the Job was much more easy to create a "after work" UML documentation. Futhermore Poseidon lacks of many features of UML.
We start to build a ERP with a framework we bought and which still is in development. The documentation is not good of the framework. I want to use a tool which helps me keep track of the very complex components we will have to program so that I don't drown.

UML tool / plug-in for ECLIPSE

Hello,
I'm searching for a UML tool or plug-in for ECLIPSE.
So far I couldn't find anything and I'm wondering whether such a thing exists at all.
Do you know something on this topic?
Thanks in advance,
Pesho

P.S. It's not zero plugins; IBM packsmassive
amounts of junk in there... :o)Still better than NetBeans.....which I tried at v5.0
as everyone said how good it was and ran away
screaming back to Eclipse. :)Really? I tried NB 5 at home on approx 1.2GHz Athlon with 1.5Gbyyes RAM. Seemed to load and run faster than WSAD 5.1.2 (Eclipse 2.something).
I still prefer PFE (Programmers File Editor) to an IDE.

Do you know any good uml tools ??

hello
I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this thread . I suppose that alot of you would use uml tools
do you knwo any good opensource UML tools ???
I used Win'design ,and would like to move to legal opensource program .
the tools i need must create the class diagram ,then generate the java classes and the database script
thank you

you may get open source UML tools..search in the
google........otherwiseI did ,but I did not find a complete life cycle development tools
u can download the trial version of Enterprise
Architect, thats a very good toolI'm searching for open source tools
thank you any way

Freeware UML tool, simple but nice

There have been a couple questions lately about UML notation products. I've used Rose, and several other expensive packages, and now typically use Omondo with Eclipse. Omondo has a free "lamed" version for download.
If you're looking for a simple, freeware, open source UML graphical tool == you might want to look at UML Pad. I've used it on a couple of machines and liked it pretty well.
http://web.tiscali.it/no-redirect-tiscali/ggbhome/umlpad/umlpad.htm
You'll have to check for yourself what the current features are, when I last used it it was a graphical tool, and you couldn't do reverse engineering, etc (like you can with the Rational stuff or Omondo).

"The project has been realized with support of the
wxWindows class library."
Does that mean that it is easily ported, or does the
non-GUI code use the windows API too much?Hey, I guess that's the open source part, you want it ported, you port it yourself :) Just kidding. Actually maybe not, since I've been down that road a couple times myself.
I never considered moving this one around. Was just posting a relative cheapy. That it only works on Fuinneoga wasn't something I considered :(
After all, I do 99.9% of my dev in Eclipse and it's plugins which are free and typically 100% portable... Java's sure nice that way.

Java to UML tool - need some advice

Hi there,
I'm developing a UML case tool as part of my final year project for my BSc degree in Computer Science, the aim of this tool is to covert Java source code into a UML Class diagram.
When given a directory containing the current project files (*.java files), the system is then intended to analyse the source files in that directory and draw a UML Class diagram which shows the Inheritance and Associations.
Just to mention, I have so far managed to get the source code analysis done using a Doclet (via JavaDoc) and I can get the methods, variables etc for each class. These have been stored in relevant data structures.
Hoever, the most difficult part is the actual layout and construction of the class diagram and I would apprecaite any advice or assistance anyone is willing to provide..
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Tony

Well automatic layouting will be a tough task to cover - as even experienced modelers do have problems in arranging the classes correctly.
I think having a closer look at graph-theory and public implementations of layout algorithms for electronic boards may be a good idea.
Maybe I should get more a little more specific here ;-)
When doing a manual layout, I usually tend to put the root class of an inheritance tree to the top of the diagram and classes that have the most dependencies to the center of it.
Have you thought of patitioning the diagram automatically?
Sometimes you find classes that act as a Facade (cf. Design Patterns, Gamma et al.) to a group of related classes which can be easily put into a sub-diagram. You may open this sub-diagram by double clicking on the Facade class.
Hope this helps a little bit :)))
