I have imported Java code into TogetherJ before. The application features round-trip engineering.

I played with a Together/J eval for a couple of weeks, and found (at least for me) that it had one major weakness relative to Rational Rose: it cannot import existing Java code.� Since we have a rather large base of Java packages that were not developed using Together, this was a showstopper for me.

Rickard,
I don't the the details, but according to my customers TJ is not as
comprehensive of a design tool as Rational. That doesn't mean it isn't good,
just focused on a different sweet spot. Rational is more complete on the
analysis model side of things in my undertanding. But for detailed design
and simultaneous code/UML work, TJ rocks!
