Hello List,

I'm looking for UML design tool. The target language is mainly java.
I need a tool with nice interface, I don't mind it having a bit steep
learning curve but I do want a good tool that can enable "smart" usage.

The requirements are :

1. Support class diagrams with interfaces, concrete classes and inheritance.
2. Support sequence diagram
3. Enable exporting to Image formats. PNG is fine. SVG is better.

Optional requirements :

1. State diagram's are a big plus.
2. Activity diagram would be nice but I can go along without them
3. Use case diagrams are not required.


This tool can be Free Software (I would prefer this), but a proprietary tool
will do as well.
It would also be nice if it acted as MDA (+ADM) code generator, but again
this is not a must.



Now I understand this is a hot topic, there is a plethora of tools out there
[1], [2], [3] the real problem is selecting the right one. Can some one on
this list recommended a tool he has personal experience with and found it to
be worthwhile ?


Thank you,
Maxim.
