Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML) is an ALL-IN-ONE Visual Development Platform. VP-UML supports the full development life cycle, the latest UML notation for visual modeling and code generation.
VP-UML is integrated with the Eclipse IDE for coding and round-trip code engineering. Software developers can perform Model-Code-Deploy effectively and efficiently within one unique visual development platform. Download and try it out now!
The Professional Edition is a toolset that combines professional UML modeling, integration with major IDEs, code generation/reverse engineering and excellent interoperability with other applications.
It supports the latest UML notations for modeling, and provides an intuitive user interface including dockable UI, resource-centric and mouse gesture to simplify diagram editing. It can be integrated with major IDEs including Eclipse/WebSphere, JBuilder, NetBeans/Sun ONE, IntelliJ IDEA, JDeveloper and WebLogic Workshop to provide sophisticated real-time or on-demand code/model synchronization. Code reverse engineering is supported for Java, C++, .NET dll or exe files, CORBA IDL, XML, XML Schema, Hibernate and JDBC.
Visual Paradigm for UML is a professional UML tool that supports complete software lifecycle - object-oriented analysis, object-oriented design, construction, testing and deployment. The UML modeling software helps you build quality applications faster, better and at lower cost. You can draw all types of class diagrams, reverse code, generate code from diagrams and generate documentation. The UML CASE tool also provides abundant UML tutorials, UML interactive demonstrations and UML projects.
UML models and diagrams can be imported from Rational Rose projects or XMI , or exported to XMI for use in other applications. J2EE is supported to accelerate and simplify J2EE software development and deployment.
Report templates can be fully-customized to conform to company's documentation standard with an easy-to-use, what-you-see-is-what-you-get Report Writer, which keeps documentation always synchronized with the VP-UML project.
Visio integration is provided so that Visio drawings can be embedded in any UML diagrams to extend the possibilities of UML modeling, and it is possible for you to transfer stencils from Visio or define your own stencils.
Visual Paradigm for UML (Professional Edition) is a powerful tool that allows you to create automatic diagram layout and export diagram to image.
Diagrams can be copied and pasted as OLE to Microsoft Office applications and edited directly inside the documents. Textual analysis and CRC card diagram are supported to help identifying candidate classes from the problem statement and identifying the collaborations and responsibilities between objects.
Users can also access and interact with the user interfaces and UML models through the VP-UML open architecture by writing plug-ins. Other supporting features include printing , HTML/PDF report generation, automatic diagram layout and export diagram to image.
