I love it! Perfect for this modern agile age, when productivity is measured through working code - not diagrams. UML is just for easy human communication, just outlining some points, it should take minutes (sometimes seconds), and that's exactly what UMLet is providing. Thanks :)
We just tried a fresh install of latest Eclipse (pure download, no package manager) -- UMLet worked on our system.. Can you please send us more info (OS/JRE versions..) to info@umlet.com ? Thanks!

I work for a large contractor doing air traffic control work for the FAA. We are lookijng at using this tool (I am evaluatiing), but we would want some kind of paid support. Do you all have maintenance/support contracts?
Hi! Thanks for reporting! A bit tricky to reproduce; just quick question: does it run stand-alone? Can you test on another Linux setup? And could we maybe move this thread to -> info@umlet.com ?
Just started to use UMLet to design a music-related database-driven application in Lazarus free pascal. I am very impressed with UMLet's intuitive user interface. It has enabled me to generate a suite of class diagrams at several levels of detail which exactly fit my needs.
I am Macos Mojave user. Initially I downloaded the umlet-eclipse-p2-14.3.0.zip file, unziped and copied the com.umlet plugin version 14.3 jar file to the Eclipse plugins area but it did not work then tried to place in the p2 but it did not work.. After many attempts, I managed to install UMLet uml tool fast uml diagrams as suggested in marketplace and it worked. I created a Use Case diagram and saved it and closed Eclipse. I reopened Eclipse and tried to access my use case diagram and it hanged Eclipse and I had to force Eclipse closed. This hangs the Eclipse every time. I don't know what to do now as this is for my programming course in Australia. I have access to the error logs and I can send it if needed.
Hi -- sorry to hear that, although unfort. we are not surprised.. First, it'd probably be best for you to use UMLet standalone on macOS, or if you only need very light-weight diagrams, the online version at www.umletino.com.
We are aware of an Eclipse plugin issue on macOS, but we have been unable to track it down, as the logs do not seem to point to the core issue here; we suppose it's an interplay with Swing. It usually happens with multiple UMLet windows open.
Hi -- we develop and test the plugin variant of UMLet mostly on Eclipse & Windows. It's a bit tricky to also check for the myriads of other combinations. If you can reproduce the crash, could you please send the Eclipse log entries contained in your workspace's .metadata/.log to info@umet.com? Thanks, The UMLet Team
I cannot get an editing cursor to appear in the lower right window where the attributes of a class are supposed to be edited. When I click on a line, I get a yellow line highlite, and no cursor. When I type nothing happens.
we'll try to replicate this; given the large # of combinations of OS, Eclipse versions, and Java versions, such issues are tricky to test comprehensively. OS X & latest Ecl version is always a hot candidate for some mess-up.
Feel also free to directly notify us of such bugs via email.
I am using Eclipse Juno. The installation worked well. After downloading the .zip file, copying it to the eclips plugins filder and restarting eclipse, I was able to draw my first diagram. It seems to work well.
We have implemented an install icon and released it about two months ago for a few days, but hit some compatibility issues. After a relatively quick check did not result in a fix, we abandoned this thread for the time being; we want to focus on the tool itself, instead of its surrounding infrastructure, as our time is limited. But no excuse here, we just stumbled over some technicality, and, being lazy, did really not enjoy digging in.
On a more general note, I personally am not a very big fan of this drive towards "user friendly" install overheads; I personally dislike installers in general; am not fond, e.g., of the "virtual drive downloads" on OS X for many tools (why the extra layer?); and am bothered by how many plugins seem to hide/forget their simple basic package downloads in favor of update sites/drag-and-drop buttons etc. As for the latter, if you use Eclipse over X-Windows, or Eclipse on a server farm without internet access, these "helpful" installation methods won't work, might send Eclipse (and other tools) into a non-stop and futile internet lookup; and require relying on the old school package download anyway -- if that way is neglected or unsupported, the whole exercise becomes excruciating fast. In short, in many instances I like to download what I want directly, and in the version I choose, and start it right away. But I am aware that that's a very personal take on all this, and largely gut-driven -- we will in fact look into install support down the line again, and hope to then put this to rest.
Try to download this for my Eclipse, but download button not available. It's also not possible to find the tool via the marketplace in Eclipse. How can I get this tool?
This is an outstanding, lightweight tool for quick UML markup. This is the perfect tool for someone that is a developer, not a business analyst, and when just needs to quickly diagram some knowledge to add to a story or wiki.
I've used mostly Visio in the past but was looking for something open-source and Linux-friendly without all the bells and whistles, this is exactly what I needed.
Simplistic approach at UML designs and very light weight, loving it. Am using as stand alone without eclipse integration, it makes navigation and reference lookup on code very much comfortable.
I love the ease of making quick UML diagrams with this. Easy to use and customize elements and charts for you own purposes. There are however a few disadvantages that drive me nuts while trying to make quick diagrams on the fly:
- Line tools like the "has a" and "is a" always get copied behind to the back layer, this is EXTREMELY frustrating when trying to align new elements up. Why would you ever want to copy a new object to the back z index? You can right click and change the layer to bring it to the front, but this just destroys the whole flow and experience.
- Its a bit tricky to grab and move the smaller elements as the grab handle for elements is relatively small.
- It takes a bit of getting used to, but ctrl selecting is used to lasso objects where simple clicks move the screen around. I understand this is more of a preference but I find it much nicer to select lasso with a simple click and use the ctrl + mouse to move around.
- When double clicking on elements (this duplicates them), it sometimes places itself at the end of another line segment automatically attaching itself to that line or connector. This means I have to either copy and paste (Which can have the same effect depending on the area of the screen, forcing me to move the screen so that the upper left corner is free (where the new element gets pasted)) or create one from the elements palatte.
Other than that, I really do like how fast I can make beautiful custom UML diagrams with little effort!
This is a very nice and easy to use application. To download it I visited the next URL: www.umlet.com/changes.htm
Besides if you want to get more information, then visit the web site: www.umlet.com
No problems to run it in Linux and Windows it's so beautiful :')
It will take a little to learn the fields you can add to the "properties" for each UML element but once you understand how it works it is so easy to get the job done!
Instantly works. Very good for rapidly drawing ideas.
I use it regularly for producing documentation with UML diagrams inside.
In order to avoid multiple rastering defects in drawings, I use the SVG export and automatically transform the .svg files to .odg (OpenOffice Drawing and Graphics) by svg2office-1.2.2.jar.
The result looks very clean.
For manual high quality export the diagram as EPS, insert it into OpenOffice by Insert > Image > From File...
Inside OpenOffice it looks not yet good, as this uses only the EPS preview.
Then print the document to a PDF printer (Do not use export!) and you will have the diagram in high-quality vector graphics in the PDF.
This is the best way to quickly sketch out diagrams! By focusing on the content the tool lets to experiment quickly and does not slow down the thinking. Other tools do not come close (well maybe SDEEdit for sequence diagrams).
I love custom elements feature too, very powerful!
A good alternative for dia. Especially with the support for properties of the elements.
A little awkward to use, but you get used to that quickly.
But could do much better if it had (I tested version 12.2):
- working z-order (automagical isn't working good - copied object is behind original object - who would want that?)
z-order context menu would be good
- display which element-type i'm working (may be even with support to change)
- fields for different properties
- transparency

- It takes a bit of getting used to, but ctrl selecting is used to lasso objects where simple clicks move the screen around. I understand this is more of a preference but I find it much nicer to select lasso with a simple click and use the ctrl + mouse to move around.
- When double clicking on elements (this duplicates them), it sometimes places itself at the end of another line segment automatically attaching itself to that line or connector. This means I have to either copy and paste (Which can have the same effect depending on the area of the screen, forcing me to move the screen so that the upper left corner is free (where the new element gets pasted)) or create one from the elements palatte.
Other than that, I really do like how fast I can make beautiful custom UML diagrams with little effort!
4.5/5 :D
Deactivate sticking relations

Quick hint on your last point: while pressing SHIFT, elements/relations don't stick (we will put this more prominently in the hints/FAQ..)
Easy, fast and useful! Excelent!!

It will take a little to learn the fields you can add to the "properties" for each UML element but once you understand how it works it is so easy to get the job done!

Good, Free, Developing continuously, Vector Graphics Export
Submitted by Christoph Knabe on Fri, 2014-06-06 09:12
Instantly works. Very good for rapidly drawing ideas.
I use it regularly for producing documentation with UML diagrams inside.
In order to avoid multiple rastering defects in drawings, I use the SVG export and automatically transform the .svg files to .odg (OpenOffice Drawing and Graphics) by svg2office-1.2.2.jar.
The result looks very clean.
For manual high quality export the diagram as EPS, insert it into OpenOffice by Insert > Image > From File...
Inside OpenOffice it looks not yet good, as this uses only the EPS preview.
Then print the document to a PDF printer (Do not use export!) and you will have the diagram in high-quality vector graphics in the PDF.
My favorite UML editor

This is the best way to quickly sketch out diagrams! By focusing on the content the tool lets to experiment quickly and does not slow down the thinking. Other tools do not come close (well maybe SDEEdit for sequence diagrams).
I love custom elements feature too, very powerful!

very great uml tool
Nice tool, but still has a lot of disadvantages

A good alternative for dia. Especially with the support for properties of the elements.
A little awkward to use, but you get used to that quickly.
But could do much better if it had (I tested version 12.2):
- working z-order (automagical isn't working good - copied object is behind original object - who would want that?)
z-order context menu would be good
- display which element-type i'm working (may be even with support to change)
- fields for different properties
- transparency
Without correct z-ordering my diagrams look ugly.
