This page describes the software engineer's arsenal. It is not intended to go into detail as to what these encompass; however, it will allow suitable tools to be proposed.

UML

Round Trip Systems

  • Together - Part of Borland's Eclipse implementation. Not well maintained, but still one of the best available round trip UML systems. It is not open source. The site can be found here.
  • GreenUML - An eclipse plug in. A passable system for class diagrams, does not scale well. Produces some unexpected behaviour. The site can be found here. Additionally SeriouslyGreen a GreenUML extension with automated SVG export and themes. Produced last year as a software project at UC.

Static Systems

  • Umbrello - A decent static system. Can generate most standard UML diagrams. Can import java classes one folder (i.e. package) at a time. Good at printing/exporting large diagrams. Linux ap, currently being ported to Windows & Mac. Can be found here.
  • Magic Draw - Comprehensive free UML tool written in Java. Community Edition can be found here (registration needed).
