UMLet - UML Tool for Fast UML Diagrams

cool,thanks!

This saved my life today when the UML app I paid for suddenly proved inadequete. But everything brightened back up again after a few minutes playing with umlet! Thanks!! One of the nicest new pieces of software I've used in a while. Totally straightforward, works smoothly, and the combination drag n' drop + text config interface is a GREAT IDEA. I used it stand-alone, and I bet the XML file format would be easy to parse for, eg, a custom code generator.

Its not clear how to install this plugin; Is the URL correct?

Excellent tool

From where i can download this plugin...?

This is just full of spam! Can't install UMLet, nothing to download or install, and every post in the last 2 years is just simply SPAM! Crap...

I've been using UMLet for a day so far, and I am vastly impressed with it! It is an amazing piece of software and a joy to use, thanks for your outstanding job!

Really easy to use and extend, great job!

New to eclipse and the java world how do you install this plugin in eclipse?

Very nice piece of software. Easy to use, responsive, ideal for quick UML diagrams without having any code generation baggage behind it.

By far the best tool I have ever used for UML. No more clicking through endless dialogs to create a class diagram. I swear with some of those other tools it seems to take longer just defining the class diagram than it does to write the code for the class itself. I give it ALL STARS, Great Job :-)

very good tools,thanks

Hi,

Iam unable to add the plain UMLet plugin to the eclipse, i did not understand whether it is added to the project as a jar file or as plugin to the eclipse if later is yes please explain me how to do it.
thanks in advance

非常好用UML工具！

Who knew? I've been trying to get several free UML tools (and several commercial evals, for that matter) to set up diagrams that got the point across (hey, isn't that the purpose of UML?), but for whatever reason, the tools refused to do what I needed them to. Either that, or the controls are too 'smart' for their own good, rearranging elements or attaching connectors in some of the most AFU ways that I could've thought.

UMLet is a great tool for setting up UML diagrams the way that you want. It's very simple to use, doesn't use 'advanced' layout algorithms that just get in the way of setting up your model, and doesn't presume to know (or care) about what you intend to do with the model once it's complete.

One of the most gratifying features is that a label is a label. You would be surprised at the number of modelling tools (Papyrus builders, listen up) that let entities have a 'Name' property but hide the property in a property list instead of presenting it on the model, where you intended (and can see or print it...).

I like the fact that it's extensible in a straightforward way, and that it doesn't appear to take itself too seriously. At work, I've been introduced to an extension of the UML use case diagram that includes UI mock-ups as a particular type of diagram element. I like the idea that I can set up such components in UMLet without having to build an entire rendering infrastructure to support their representation and use in a simple screen flow.

I also like the stability of the product. Several other modelling tools appeared to have the right feature set, but tended to be crash-happy, ripping the guts out of the model just as it started looking fairly decent.

These features were important to me, as I'm working on some fairly complex system interaction models that will be targeting assembly language (UML tool builders note: NOT JAVA), and this tool did me a favor by not trying to impose full OO/UML inflexibility on the diagrams that I was creating. It's more like it obeys the spirit of UML, rather than the letter of UML. And if you're not doing an elaborate cycle of code generation or round-trip engineering based on the model content (or can't, because the tool doesn't support the target language), this is exactly the right approach.

Finally, I like the tool's portability. The tool I use at work, Sparx Enterprise Architect, is great in a lot of ways, but has some really neanderthal behaviors in unexpected places. In any event, EA is a Windows-only product (with a substantial licen$e cost), and I do my development on Linux (multi-core 64-bit, to be more precise). This is true of a lot of other 'advanced' commercial modelling tools, regrettably. Understandably, having a tool that runs on my platform of choice is a very important feature to me, and played a major part in selecting it for use in my personal projects.

Well done to the UMLet team!

I'm trying to put the UMLet in my B3 aggregator, but it seems that there is only simple plug-in distribution.
Are there any intentions to provide a P2 update site?

So simple there's virtually zero learning curve. Editing objects via the text window is really fast and much simpler that than the context menus and dialog boxes of traditional modelling tools. You'll be producing great quality diagrams in minutes. Highly recommended.

とても軽くて、機能は必要十分。

I use this tool to create few diagrams.
My problem is that I am not an UML expert so I created not perfect diagrams and showed it to my customer. The guy ask which tool I use and then smile. He also asked me why I charge him $500 per day if I don't even have a descent tool and provide him with wrong diagrams and no reusable model !!

UMLet tool allows you to create whatever you want but there is no control, no model or logic. This is a just designer for me.

I finally lost this contract with my customer because not using a professional tool was a key factor for him to cancel my consulting mission. I must agree with him and consider that my company should have purchase few licenses and certainly not let me front to a customer without being able to defend myself by checking model integrity. This tool is easy to use but it is so easy to make mistakes. It is only after showing my diagrams to other members in the team that I realized that not even one of my produced diagram was correct !!
I feel really stupid now :-)
