What is StarUML ?? * StarUML is an open source project to develop fast, flexible, extensible, featureful, and freely-available UML/MDA platform running on Win32 platform. * StarUML is mostly written in Delphi. However, StarUML is multi-lingual project and not tied to specific programming language, so any programming languages can be used to develop StarUML. * StarUML was formerly known as "Plastic" or "Agora Plastic".
Key Features: * UML 2.0 : UML is continuously expanding standard managed by OMG(Object Management Group). Recently, UML 2.0 is released and StarUML support UML 2.0 and will support lastest UML standard. * MDA (Model Driven Architecture) : MDA is a new technology introduced by OMG. To get advantages of MDA, software modeling tool should support many customization variables * Plug-in Architecture : Many users require more and more functionalities to software modeling tools. To meet the requirements, the tool must have well-defined plug-in platform. StarUML provides simple and powerful plug-in architecture so anyone can develop plug-in modules in COM-compatible languages (C++, Delphi, C#, VB, …) * Usability : Usability is most important issue in software development. StarUML is implemented to provide many user-friend features such as ShortCut Generation Syntax,etc
System Requirements
The following are the minimum system requirements for running StarUML™. * Intel® Pentium® 233MHz or higher * Windows® 2000, Windows XP™, or higher * Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher * 128 MB RAM (256MB recommended) * 110 MB hard disc space (150MB space recommended)
What can you do using StarUML? * Star UML supports the following UML diagrams 1. Use Case Diagram 2. Class Diagram 3. Sequence Diagram 4. State chart Diagram 5. Activity Diagram 6. Component Diagram 7. Deployment Diagram 8. Composite Structure Diagram (UML 2.0) * Code
