Über Altova UModel Basic Edition

UML-Softwaremodellierungstool.

Altova UModel is a UML tool that makes visual software design practical for any project. Visually design application models in UML and generate Java, C#, or Visual Basic .NET code and project documentation. Or, reverse engineer existing programs into UML diagrams, then enhance your designs and complete the round trip by regenerating code.
