Hi,

I've been using UML modeling tools starUML and argoUML. Here are my observations about these two applications.

Currently I need to evaluate other open source UML model applications also. Can you please suggest some good open source UML modeling applications other than those I've mentioned in my article?

I think you are asking for open source and free tools only.

Other then Argo and Star UML i don't know any other good UML tools.
But If you are looking for free ,then i think take a look at Poseidon for UML - Community Edition.

Personally, i do not use any tools, i tried and it takes lot of efforts for synchronizing it with code[ and funny part is you have to manually cross check it, because it may get wrong] as we don't have any time[it is also because we are not huge team, as we are working in same room.]. But i kept few major high level diagrams.

Nachiket is right, the ones I mentioned are not open source. However Borland Together Architect/Designer (not sure whether still true) and MagicDraw UML have free Community Edition.

Hi Veera,

You can try using Borland Together 2008.Its not a Open source tool but you could know the Difference between a Open Source tool and priced UML tools Once you evaluate it.

Trust me Automating your Design and Development phase is a fun and has changed the entire approach towards Software Development
