Visual Paradigm for UML (Community Edition) is a complex UML modeling application designed to ease the work of software developers. It offers a complete platform to ease the development process and supports round-trip code engineering for C#.NET, VB.NET and C++.NET.
Due to its complexity, the application is not recommended for beginners. However, advanced developers can find its features useful for creating UML models, generate code from class diagrams and deploy applications, as the program supports the full development life cycle.
The Community Edition provides basic UML modeling features, allowing you to create use case, requirement and entity relationship diagrams. In addition, it provides integration with some of the most popular IDEs, such as Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA and Visual Studio. Visio drawings can be embedded in UML models, as Visio integration is also supported.
You can create all kinds of UML diagrams using this tool, from use case and class diagrams to communication, activity, component or composite structure diagrams. Also, you can use the requirement modeling features to create SysML diagrams, perform use case modeling and textual analysis. Developers can implement diagram projects, modify a diagram and perform class diagram synchronization, in order to update the generated source code.
The software comes with database modeling capabilities and provides the tools that development teams need for software planning or class modeling. Furthermore, the flow of events editor enables you to track every user action within a use case modeling project.
As mentioned above, the Community Edition provides the basic tools for UML modeling, but if you want more diagram types and even more features, you should try another edition.
Code generation, round-trip engineering, model and diagram editing, IDE integration and custom report generation are just a few of the advantages that make Visual Paradigm for UML (Community Edition) one viable solution for working with the Unified Modeling Language.

What's New in This Release:
Supported PostMania in client products:
· Chat with the analysts, designers, software developers or whoever in your team directly inside VP-UML, right in a diagram. PostMania, a private social networking platform designed for software development team. It enables team members to post and reply discussions specifically to a diagram or a shape.
Supported decision table diagram:
· The decision table (diagram) provides a structured way to represent complex business rules. Analysts and developers can realize the programming logic easily by looking up the decision table.
Up to 50% faster when open project when the project set involves a large amount of referenced projects:
· Good news for users who use the feature of project reference intensively. The time you need to open project file has been reduced significantly. The effect is more obvious when there are a large amount of referenced project files.
Improved the performance of general diagram editing for large project:
· Creating, e...
