Altova UModel 2008 Enterprise Edition is the starting point for successful software development. Utilize UModel to create and interpret software designs via the power of the UML 2.1 standard. Draw up your application designs and generate Java, C#, or Visual Basic .NET code from your models, or reverse engineer existing programs into clear, accurate UML diagrams to quickly comprehend your software architecture.

You can even amend your code or UML models and complete the round trip by automatically updating diagrams or regenerating code. Either way UModel lets you keep your projects synchronized and up to date. UModel supports all 13 UML 2.1.1 diagram types and adds a unique, new diagram for modeling XML Schemas in UML. A project documentation feature lets you generate custom documentation from your projects in HTML, Word, and RTF.

Hyperlinking from UML diagrams to other diagrams, external files, or Web sites is also supported. UModel 2008 Enterprise Edition integrates with Visual Studio and Eclipse, automatically synchronizing UML diagrams as source code is edited in these popular IDEs. What's more, UModel supports the XMI 2.1 interchange specification, allowing you to open and edit models created in more cumbersome or expensive UML tools.

Until recently UML was out of reach to the majority of developers due to the relative high cost and complexity of earlier tools, but UModel is so cost effective and user friendly getting started with UML has never been easier! Its rich visual interface and superior usability features help level the UML learning curve, allowing developers of all levels to quickly leverage UML.

UModel takes the mystery out of UML with context sensitive entry helpers, syntax coloring, cascading styles, customizable design elements, multiple layout views, unlimited undo/redo, and many more usability features. UModel is the simple, cost-effective way to draw on UML! Download Altova UModel 2008 Enterprise Edition today, and try it free for 30 days.
