Does anyone have any good resources for refining my skills in developing class diagrams? Would like any strong tutorials in UML 2.0 ideally, but searches seem to be returning poor results. Also currently revising for a final year exam and really want to try and get my teeth into a practice paper with a model answer, I've searched high a...
I'm a fan of UML and use Fowlers UML distilled book as a reference. My question is : have things moved on in UML, what is the current 'state of the art'. Is there a better reference book for modern UML or is the above still a good reference. I'd be less interested in 'proposed extensions' and things committees are considering; really I...

I need to show this in the sequence diagram. Is there a way to show it looping indefinitely out of sequence as it were? Or does it not make sense in the context of ...
In my app i have a Document class and a DocumentFact class. The DocumentFact class contains methods which will get multiple Documents from the database.

I have the following class structure (abbreviated for sake of time, names changed) in my application. When I was writing the code I felt that the similarities between Action1 and Action2 should warrant some sort of generalization.

For a school assignment, we have to make a Usecase diagram. But the documentation that we have, is not very extended. It just describes what components a usecase consists of, and one example. We have to make a usecase about a library system. We have found 11 usecases, but I won't bother you with all of them. IIRC, a usecase describes a ...
Example: I have several types, e.g. Wheel, Brake, Engine, Clutch, AutoBox, ManualBox, ElectricWindow, RearParkingSensor, HeatedSeats. These will all inherit a ICarPart marker interface (could be an attribute (java annotation), but doesn't matter at this stage). I then write my Car class that can represent all car types, e.g. class Ca...
