Agilian Vs StarUml

[Devender Thareja]

Hi Rain Wong,

Could you please provide you perspective on how Agilian is better then StarUml?

Thanks,

Devender.

[Paul Wallace]

I use StarUML. Its great for UML, but from what I've read Agilian is a one stop shop for all your modeling needs.

StarUML also seems to be a dormant project now.

Regards

Paul

Thanks Paul Wallace, yes Agilian provides one stop shop tool for modeling. I would like to add one comment. In usability point of view, Agilian provides more tools to assist modeler to perform modeling. Following are few advanced modeling functions:

Resource-centric interface for fast model element creation

Quick connect for easy to connect shapes in large diagram

Various connector style selection to fit to different look and feel requirements

Easily reclaim diagramming space with Sweeper

Space elimination using Magnet

Define - reuse and manage frequently used pattern with Design pattern

Thanks for you reply guys.
Another question:
Is it possible to reverse engineer a sequence diagram from java code using Agilian?

[Rain Wong]

Sorry, we don't support reverse Sequence Diagram.

[Devender Thareja]

Does Agilian provide Java code generation feature and reverse engineering from Java code?

[Rain Wong]

Since Agilian is going to provide agile modeling tools for developer (to help developer to express their idea in effective way), there is no code generation and reverse engineering function in Agilian. If you need Class Diagram code generation and reverse engineering function, you may consider our Visual Paradigm for UML.
