Really Good UML Tool

A few years ago, I worked a little with the Poseidon UML tool from Gentleware.

Recently, UML came front and centre in my life, but all I needed was the ability to produce nice UML diagrams, not actually generate code.

I went to Gentleware, but there was only a 30 day trial on the community edition, so I looked a bit further and came up with www.umlet.com.

At a relatively small sub 5mb download, and a trivially easy install:- unzip the archive and run

java -jar umlet.jar

This is a charmingly easy to use tool with a great range of output option (svg, pdf, jpeg etc).

A real gem of a find.

Especially after BOUML and Dia not making the grade for me.
