As software architect, you create a set of diagrams describing use-cases, requirements, structural views, behavioral and deployment views. crystal_facet_uml keeps element names and element hierarchies consistent. It exports diagrams in svg, pdf, ps and png formats to be used in text processing systems like docbook, html, latex. This tool runs on your local PC and is based on glib, gdk, gtk, cairo, pango, sqlite.

pgDesigner is a Datamodel designer for PostgreSQL written in Gambas language.

The program JStruct (JavaStructurizer) allows creation, editing and reverse engineering of Java code using structured blocks (NSD: Nassi-Shneiderman Diagrams ). JStruct provides an interactive graphical editor with copy, move, zoom, expand etc. Comments for each block ( javadoc and inline ), import and export of java source files. JStruct exports images in various raster and vector formats, and it offers high interactivity: tooltips and context menus, undo and redo functionality in a very intuitive GUI. Usages: - Development and Learning: create from scratch a new Java program, - Reverse engineering: the block structure facilitates the understanding of the code. - Documentation: NSD images can be added to javadoc. - Add-on tool: JStruct can be added to an IDE (eg JCreator ) - Java Pretty printer: to import then export a java file formats the code.

Lifecycle Manager allows software engineers to manage all stages in the development lifecycle without losing any knowledge of decisions and changes. This system is a groupware knowledge management system for software development.

LXD intends to be a documentation system for large OpenSource projects. It mixes low level information (source code symbols) with high level information (modules, abstract data types, algorithms), by using well defined XML documents.

Small add-on library for Struts that minimizes coupling between pages. It is based on a new software architecture vision using pages as independent components.

This is a modeling tool generating code from activity diagrams. The main goal is to achieve a good code generation. I would like to have different possibilities like HTML mapping from diagrams and Java code generation (maybe others) chosen by the user.

A text-based editor to dynamically create UML Sequence Diagrams.

Display in a UML-like diagram the dependencies of applications developed in NetBeans. Originally meant only to display module dependencies of NetBeans Rich Client Platform applications, thanks to the platform itself, it can display dependencies of "plain" and Maven-based Java projects. To display the dependencies, a new action is made available in the 'Source' menu and in the toolbar. The generated graphs can be saved as images or exported in PlantUML or Gephi formats.
