Re: Who knows of a free UML tool to work with libreoffice?
Nicholas, Can you clarify your request? Do you simply need a free UML tool, something that allows you to model UML from within LO, or something to create UML for use by the official LO project? Some years back, I found a UML to a project that directed that open source tools be used. If I remember correctly, we chose ArgoUML. That was sufficiently long ago that there are likely new options. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unified_Modeling_Language_tools http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_UML_tools My preferred UML package for general use is Enterprise Architect by Sparx. http://www.sparxsystems.com/ The thing that I liked about their software is that they have a version that is price accessible to individual developers. For example, the Desktop version is $135. My complaint with the desktop version is that it does not support code import / export, and it is nice to be able to point at a block of code and then import it into UML class diagrams. That is supported by the professional version for $199. Even in a corporate setting I have not found the extra features overly compelling (because last I checked [8 years ago, so this may have changed], the ability to use a DBMS as the back-end stored an XML blob representing large chunks of the diagram so that multiple people could not edit near portions at the same time, they had to be totally separate packages). http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/purchase.html The Sparx product (when I last evaluated, which was when their top version was the Corporate Edition), it did not come close to packages such as Rational Rose with respect to things like integration with multiple levels of development at the cost thousands of dollars. On the other hand, if you primarily are interested in UML, it is pretty comprehensive and their bang for the buck (so to speak) is very high. The Sparx Enterprise Architect (EA) program is able to generate very nice reports that you can then edit inside of LO, but, they don't round-trip back into EA. I expect that any of the products, free or otherwise, will allow you to generate some sort of artifact that you can then embed in an LO document, but, the standard UML packages will likely not create something that integrates with LO or allows round-tripping the data (create in tool, edit in LO, bring back into the tool). Interested if you do find something that does integrate. If you are interested in direct integration, then you will need to use Draw and do all the work yourself For example: http://mvantzet.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/drawing-uml-diagrams-in-openoffice-draw/ -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

UML Modeller, from the KDE stable, says that's what it does. [nicholas ferguson] I tried doxygen. Along with dot. And selected a subset of directories from LibreOffice. I got 64GB of files.

RE: Who knows of a free UML tool to work with libreoffice?
Take a look at this answer for some tools: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/405953/generating-uml-from-c-code As we're using doxygen already, we could prolly use that to generate some graphs. (cf. http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/diagrams.html).
