UML Tools for LINUX

Tired of the usual spank? Windows 98 or Windows 2000 only for nice UML tools. Example: Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect tool – wonderful, lovely, Windows only.

You still have the document production problem – no Word for Linux. However, between the various document production tools available, you should be able to produce a readable specification on your LINUX box.

Open Source

Tigris.ORG’s Argo/UML - Provides some of the same automation features of a commercial CASE tool, but focuses on features that support the cognitive needs of designers. Pure Java. Generates Java, and GIF.

Dia - A diagramming tool that supports UML modeling and runs on Linux.

FreeCASE - Some kind of LINUX CASE tool.

KUML - CASE tool for Linux.

Object Artist - Yet Another CASE tool.

Unimodeler - A small CASE tool, runs under Linux.

Tempting, but not real

OpenThorn - A UML modeling tool that supports C++ code generation and runs on Windows, Linux and Macintosh platforms. Not to be confused with Win32’s Thorn (Opposite of ROSE, get it?)
