I work for Oracle but do not speak on its behalf.  Nonetheless I know
some hard-working people there who have been putting great diagramming
for free into JDeveloper.

JDeveloper does UML class, sequence, database, use case, and activity
diagrams.  Actually it also has a bunch of graphical modes to editors
for HTML, JSP.  I just discovered one that laid out an otherwise-
incomprehensible WSDL and published it nicely to a PNG file.

Class and database diagrams live-sync with code - add a method on the
diagram, it shows up in your code.  Modify the code, it changes the
diagram.  Class diagrams automatically add arcs for extends/implements
and class dependencies on member variables.  I've gotten very
comfortable with making the arcs work.  Also, as a strong-typing
freak, I like having my diagrams type-checked as I draw them.

Really suggest you give JDeveloper a try if you haven't in a while.

Regards,

Andrew Wolfe
