I need to do some UML work and I'm sick of Visio, so I thought I'd look around the marketplace. JUDE looks good, so I thought I'd come here and see if there's any opinions of it on stackoverflow. Surprisingly (to me, at least) it doesn't even rate a mention in the What’s the best UML diagramming tool? question. What's wrong with JUDE? D...
In an UML component diagram, how does one tag or identify a component as a database, so that it's easily recognizable? In the old days there was the cylinder symbol for showing database but that's not part of the UML. Same goes for an application server for instance, how would that be shown? Are stereotypes applicable here? Can the comp...
Is anyone here actually using SysML for system specification or modeling? ...
A colleague is looking to generate UML class diagrams from heaps of Python source code. He's primarily interested in the inheritance relationships, and mildly interested in compositional relationships, and doesn't care much about class attributes that are just Python primitives. The source code is pretty straightforward and not tremend...
can two use cases extend or include each other at the same time? A extend/include B and B extend/include A ...
If use-case A extends use-case B, does that mean A is complete and flow shifted to B or flow will return to A? Does UML put any restrictions on that? Or does it depend on the modeler? ...
if A is extension use case (not base use case), can A be directly referenced by the actor? ...
When I was at university a lecturer said how some people managed to code using sequence diagrams, this to me seems a good way of programming but of course the devil is in the details. I have a few questions. Does this actually happen or was I misinterpreting what he said? Has anyone here actually done this? Is it more productive? Wh...

Does anyone know any Ajax-based UML Modeling tool ? If this isn't clear enough, I'm looking for something like WWW SQL Designer for UML Modeling. ...
We have a My_list class that has a list of pointers to Abstract_things. To optimize on memory usage, all derived Things use one memory pool that is established with the "new and delete" stereotype. In order to size the pool properly during the initization of the application, the builder figures out which Thing is the biggest and sizes ...
I noticed that doxygen uses the graphviz library for creating diagrams. Have you ever used graphviz for generating documentation? Is it worth learning the graphviz for documentation purposes outside the scope of doxygen? Or am I better off to sticking with a standard data modeling package like Visio? I understand the merits of it as a g...
I'm simply trying to create a UML diagram where I can show the header file declarations. I to be able to display things such as: Bitmap * getImage() Coordinate * getCoordinates(Object o) Stuff like that. Problem is, I can't figure out how to display pointers as return types(it only let's be choose objects from the UML diagram) or arg...
Hi So I have a UML type chart that documents the classes and the hierarchy of a development. Just don't know what you'd call it? Any suggestions? ...
Hi everyone, I'm learning UML by trying to simulate how a car service garage works with diagrams and documentation. One problem I have is with postcondition (or rather, GOTO) statements. Is the dashed line << include >> relationship only for preconditions? Can Use-case bubbles connect to eachother and follow a logic path? So this is w...

I am starting a new project and like to get some expert advice on all these practices. I know to code, but I never tried UML and other stuffs. Any help would be great ...
Ever since the publication of Enterprise Integration Patterns people have been using the notation introduced in that book for documenting asynchronous heterogenous messaging systems. But our shop is more or less standardized around a proprietary documentation tool that does exclusively UML. Is one of the standard UML diagrams appropriat...
I am attempting to create a UML diagram representative of some Java code. In a class I have a method that is overloaded. As far as I know, parameters for methods aren't shown in UML diagrams. How do I represent method overloading in UML? Thanks. ...

I'm moving to a role that requires UML experience, so before I move to the new position I am doing some of my own reading. I have the book Practical OO Design with UML by Mark Priestley, Published by Mc Graw Hill (It was my university text book). Would you recommend this book as an introduction to UML or do you have an alternative? Tha...
