Uml and Java

After a long time and constant search I found some material regarding UML and java.

Most developers have java code and then switch to UML to find architecture of the code. I personally do not advise that. Hence I was looking for some tools to reverse engineer or UML to Java parsing softwares. This post consist of list of posts that I found in my journey to find correct tool.

One way to start with searching free online tools is to know about commercial softwares and search for open source software for those softwares. Following link is an example of my search.

 Open Source Alternative to Rational Rose

I knew Rational Rose ( IBM ) is IBM's software engineering and very powerful tool. I was looking for open source software and found the above link.

Along the way I found some comments by Waterloo's professor M. Gofrey. It is a professor's remark on all the available tools for software engineering for Java, C#, C and many more languages.

I am personally using eUML which is free and also available commercially. Here is the installation guide.

eUML2 Installation GUIDE 

There is a flaw in this installation guide. It was written for students who are working on UML but the new version of eclipse does not necessarily allows same eUML2 zip file.
