UML Designer is a graphical tool to edit and vizualize UML 2.5 models.
It uses the standard UML2 metamodel provided by Eclipse Foundation and it implements the following generic UML diagrams:
- Package Hierarchy
- Class Diagam
- Component Diagram
- Composite Structure Diagram
- Deployment Diagram
- Use Case Diagram
- Activity Diagram
- State Machine
- Sequence Diagram
- Profile Diagram
For those seeking to generate code from their UML diagrams, UML Designer integrates java generators and reverse.
As it is based on Sirius, it provides an easy way to combine UML with domain specific modelling. You can extend the provided diagram definitions and seamlessly work on both UML and DSL models at the same time.
This designer is free (Open Source with EPL license).
You can easily modify it with Sirius to adapt each diagram to your needs or combine it to your own DSL. To start customizing this module, just import the source code of UML Designer from Github.
More detail on the UML Designer website.
If you have any feedback, tell us on the forum, fill in our survey or report an issue.

UML Designer installation on Sirius 7 and Eclipse IDE 2022-06
Submitted by Mojtaba Mohammadi on Wed, 08/31/2022 - 20:17
I can install and use 'Read-To-Use Package' UML Designer 9.0.0 from umldesigner.org/download
But once I am trying to install UML Designer on the top of Eclipse IDE 2022‑06, Sirius 7.0.2 from Marketplace or 'Install New Software', it is simply not cooperating and saying UML Designer will not be installed.

If you already have an Eclipse installed you can install it by using the UML Designer 9.0 update site.

Pre-installed and "buggy by default" in Eclipse Java (EE) 4.9.0?
Submitted by Hans Müller on Tue, 02/18/2020 - 12:36
Is it pre-installed and "buggy by default" in Eclipse Java (EE) 4.9.0?
When i go the the market place (with client version 1.7.6), i just see "Learn more" instead of "Install" - so i think it's pre-installed an, so as already said, "buggy by default"...
Otherwise i would see an "Install"-button, instead of the "Learn more"-link, right?!?
And i can't create some UML class diagrams from Java source code, i didn't saw any options for that.
And a "special" kind of project, e.g. specific for UML, is also not available in the project list.
So what to do in that situation? Any workarounds, or better, solutions for that issue?
Thank you for your feedback.
Regards, Jan

Hello, Have you tried by using directly the Eclipse Marketplace Client ?
Other possibility : current version of UML Designer can be installed Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) only. Are you using this version of Eclipse ?

I can see it'll be the most powerful uml designer plugin,but now,it shows too many bugs,most terrible is that , the first,after create the class diagram,when drag a class icon to the canvas,it shows a error dialog,and the canvas always show blanks,but i can see the new class item in the left explorer.and second,when close the canvas ,i can't open the class diagram canvas any more,unless i restart the eclpse.
Good job!
Submitted by Zoe Tsekas on Thu, 09/29/2016 - 09:59
I have installed it in Eclipse Neon, worked with the first go.
A bit of a change of mindset if you come from a IBM Rational Software Architect perspective. I love the separation of model information (.uml) from the view information (.aird), it solves a huge complain from many of my colleagues in the financial services industry, especially if you are into model driven development; why parse a huge file (model + view) when you are just interested in the model only.
Also love the fact it is Eclipse EMF based, loads of previous eclipse plugins can still be ported with slight modification.
Keep up the good work!
Appalling UX
Submitted by Martin Spamer on Tue, 09/06/2016 - 05:26
The UX is appalling, the usability product bears no relation to the "Getting Started" tutorial on the plugins website and doesn't appear to function correctly via exploration. Add lots of meaningless/opaque options but most result in empty and non-functioning popups. Uninstall doesn't function correctly, with numerous options left handing around in Eclipse.

Hi,
it looks like a situation which could be caused by a configuration or an environment issue.
Would you mind sharing your feedback, OS, UML Designer and Java versions through an issue so that we can help in troubleshooting this ?

problem with tutorial
Submitted by Camilo Mising name on Tue, 10/21/2014 - 06:42
When trying to do the "Create an UML project" tutorial, I see the following error message:
"Error loading cheat sheet content.
Cheat sheet content file '/doc/cheatsheets/CreateProject.xml' could not be parsed, error at line '47', column '9'."
And the tutorial is not launched.
I looked for this file and I found it in the following path:
./configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/905/0/.cp/doc/cheatsheets/CreateProject.xml
The file has effectively an error at line 47, in a followed by a text that has closing quotation mark but not has not opening quotiation mark and lacks the "label" attribute definition, making it an invalid XML file.
However, after adding the "label" attribute and quotation mark for the text and saving the file, eclipse still shows the same error message when trying to launch the tutorial, even if the file is now valid XML.
