At work I use Magic Draw, along with the Team Server. Its very good, very powerful, but too powerful for a lot of my development work. But it has some very nice round trip features if you're moving back and forth between your diagrams and test code. Recently I used it to help me reverse engineer a set of java classes. I found it awkward in some ways, but that seemed more personal preference. Its biggest drawback is that its very expensive. Even more so when you're using their team server to collaboratively design a system. Magic Draw has both PC and Mac versions, it also has an eclipse plugin. Unfortunately I cannot use that because its incompatible with the Team Server we use at work
Another more basic UML tool is Blu-Jay. It has all the basic diagrams etc. Its free and offers some round trip capacities. What I've found I've been using more and more often at work is the UML Diagram plugin that is a part of the MyEclipse package. It has all the necessary tools and diagrams etc. It exports the diagram in XMI 1.0 format, so you can import it into cfc stub generator. Its a fairly quick way to set up the basic skeleton of your application, along with all the necessary files for coldspring, ant deployment and cfunit tests. > >ArgoUML or Poseidon are two. there are quite a few, just do a google > search on it. > > > hi, thanks we have done a Google search in the pass which led to us > using argouml. it needs alot of improvement before it can be of any > serious use. so what we are after is not google search results but > recommendations from people that use the software and find it great. > > it doesnt have to be opensource actually as we are just after some > great software. ideally it is specifically for coldfusion and flex > applications > > thanks, we look forward to your replies > > richard > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301859 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
