In conjunction with the fact that almost every click creates a new modeling artifact, you wind up littering your model with stuff you don't need. If you move something through accidental selection, tough. That's extremely difficult when you get into nested calls in fact, moving the parent can cause it to come unattached from its children. You have to move the calls and returns individually. On sequence diagrams, where you're much more likely to forget something and need to shuffle things, you're Stuck Outta Luck. Multiple selection works as expected, as does moving the objects around. There were also some anomalies with comments, but that was the sort of thing that I generally attribute to my weird 64-bit system.
Bouml uml to java convert how to#
It took me a while to figure out how to hide attributes and operations that don't relate to my specific design (hint: it's called "remove from display"), but I eventually got it. I've become enamored of Bouml's configurable colors, but I refuse to allow that to be a consideration here. Reflexive calls are an absolute nightmare!Īnd I can't figure out how to remove the explicit returns.Ĭonfigurable Display: Satisfactory. Comments can't be moved freely, and even the comment association line can't be attached freely I've still got one hanging in midair. It took me a long time to figure out how to define the call! Even then, I couldn't get parameters listed. The user interface for adding calls to sequence diagrams is very nearly hostile. Even then, the dashed lines (like for realization) overlap incorrectly, and you have to fiddle with the line to get it to look right. Orthogonal lines are only available by creating them manually. Everything else was difficult, or just plain frustrating. That's useful for establishing a new class's place in the hierarchy. I liked being able to import a single class from my large project. I want some more modeling functionality.Ĭlass and Sequence Diagrams: Fail. Of course, Laurent just wants to draw diagrams.
I never would have found this if it hadn't been for Laurent's review of UML tools I just searched aptitude for anything with UML in the description, and it's not in the Ubuntu or Debian repositories. Onto the burning sands a new challenger comes: ArgoUML! As a developer, I chose the latest beta: 0.28.Beta_4. I intend to keep going until I find a UML editor that fits my criteria.
