New JDBC database driver support, visual alignment guides and Java API.

Altova UModel is an easy-to-use UML modeling tool. Visually design application models and generate Java, C# or VB.NET code and project documentation. Altova UModel Professional Edition also lets you reverse engineer existing programs into UML 2.1 diagrams then fine tune your designs and complete the round trip by regenerating code. UModel makes visual software design practical for any project.

The following editions are available:

Updates in 2012

JDBC database driver support - In addition to ODBC and ADO drivers, UModel 2012 supports JDBC database drivers for database modeling. Users who acquire UModel as part of the Altova MissionKit can be assured of consistent functionality across products.
Visual alignment guides - UModel 2012 includes the same new horizontal and vertical alignment guides described in the MapForce section above. These guides permit users to quickly align elements in any UML, SysML, BPMN, or database diagram by dragging them in the drawing pane as an alternative to the Layout toolbar.
New Java API - The same features of the new Java API described above in the XMLSpy section are available in UModel 2012, allowing Java developers to directly access the Java API. New UModel 2012 API examples demonstrate API functionality much more extensively for all programming languages.

Altova UModel 2011r2 also supports source code generation from state machine diagrams.

Altova UModel Professional Edition is an easy-to-use UML modeling tool. Visually design application models and generate Java, C# or VB.NET code and project documentation. Altova UModel Professional Edition also lets you reverse engineer existing programs into UML 2.1 diagrams then fine tune your designs and complete the round trip by regenerating code. UModel makes visual software design practical for any project.

The following editions are available:

Altova UModel is also available as part of Altova MissionKit 2011 for Enterprise Software Architects.

Updates in 2011r2

UModel users can now generate code in C#, Java, or Visual Basic directly from a state machine diagram with little or no additional modeling infrastructure. This new code generation feature will help to accelerate the design-built-test cycle for UML modelers.
Building upon its existing support for the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) 1.0, UModel 2011r2 now supports the BPMN 2.0 specification, including all new process types and elements. UModel also supports the BPMN model exchange with other BPMN tools through the XMI specification and provides a convenient migration path for users who must maintain existing diagrams that were created under the earlier version.
In addition, like XMLSpy and MapForce, UModel now supports customizable project documentation templates that can be modified using StyleVision.

UModel adds SQL database modeling

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 09:03:00 GMT

An example process diagram generated with Altova Umodel.

Altova UModel 2011 adds features to model popular relational databases, plus Teamwork support.

The following editions are available:

Altova UModel is also available as part of Altova MissionKit 2011 for Enterprise Software Architects.

Updates in 2011

Modeling SQL databases
As software applications interact with growing amounts of data, database designs and structures become critical to development of successful projects. UModel 2011 extends its software modeling functionality by adding a set of features to model popular relational databases along with programming language-based applications.
Teamwork support
Large software projects are often divided among multiple developers to shorten development cycles. This is especially useful for projects that must integrate with complex hardware interfaces or industry-specific standards. The graphical communication benefits of UML software modeling multiply as more developers work on a project, since the design representation of various sub-projects enhances communication across the development team. UModel 2011 supports teams working on large projects by allowing projects to be split up into multiple subprojects. Individual developers may simultaneously edit different parts of a single project. Each individual subproject can be added to a source control system. The top-level project, i.e., the project from which the subprojects are created, is the main project. Subprojects are created on the package level as individual UModel project files and have a *.ump extension. The screen shot below shows the UModel 2011 Model Tree helper window for a project that includes several sub-projects. Each subproject is identified by its individual file name. The UModel Generate Documentation feature allows users to optionally include subprojects in generated documentation, offering flexibility for individual developers to generate documentation for their own subprojects, and for project managers to automatically generate documentation for the full application.
3-way project merge
Starting with UModel 2011, a single UModel project can be split into multiple subprojects that can be edited by independent developers, with support check-in/check-out in source control systems. If multiple developers work independently on the same project file, a three-way merge allows them to easily combine changes into a single result.
State machine diagram, sequence diagram, and communication diagram enhancements
UModel 2011 includes new features to support operation call/event editing, and automatic creation of operations in transitions. Transitions in state machine diagrams can be selected from operations of a referenced class. Additionally, a new toolbar button for all three diagram types allows the user to enter a transition/message name and automatically create a corresponding operation in the referenced class.

Altova UModel adds C# 4.0 support

Wed, 05 May 2010 17:24:00 GMT

An example process diagram generated with Altova Umodel.

2010 Release 3 supports generating code in C# 4.0 projects and reverse-engineering C# 4.0 code to create UML models.

The following editions are available:

Updates in 2010 Release 3

Support for C# 4.0
C# 4.0 is the latest version of the C# programming language, released by Microsoft along with Visual Studio 2010. UModel 2010r3 supports C# 4.0, both for generating code in C# 4.0 projects and for reverse-engineering C# 4.0 code to create UML models.
Protocol State Machine Diagrams
UModel 2010r3 supports protocol state machine diagrams as a new diagram type, with a specialized diagram toolbar. Protocol state machine diagrams are a subset of state machine diagrams that are limited to showing a sequence of events that an object responds to, without having to show the specific behavior. Protocol state machines are most often used to describe complex protocols, such as database access through a specific interface, or communication protocols such as TCP/IP.
New Sequence Diagram Option
In UModel 2010r3, users may now choose to ignore operation names when generating sequence diagrams from existing source code. The Sequence Diagram Generation dialog permits users to enter a comma delimited list of operations that will not appear in the generated sequence diagram. This allows developers working with existing source code to focus more specifically on features of interest.
New Diagram Autolayout Option
UModel 2010r3 adds a new diagram autolayout option called Block to the existing Force Directed and Hierarchical autolayout selections. Block autolayout can be selected from the Layout menu when multiple elements are selected in the diagram pane, or can be applied when diagrams are auto-generated from existing source code.
