Visual Paradigm for UML 6.4sp1

Visual Paradigm for UML 6.4sp1 functions as an UML CASE tool to synchronize real-time bi-directional round-trip code-models. VP-UML not only supports the latest standards of Java notations, but also the latest and full UML 2.0 diagrams and notations so as to support the full round-trip code generation and code reverse engineering for Java.

Moreover, VP-UML supports Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) and EJB Development by acting as a bridge between object model, data model and relational database, and supports the generation and synchronization of database and code including POJO and EJB to reduce the development time.

Major Features:

1. Support of Use Case Scheduling
2. Support of Textual Analysis
3. Support Model sharing among diagrams
4. Mouse Gesture
5. Modeling with Visio stencils
6. HTML Report Generation
7. PDF Report Generation
8. Report Writer
9. Code GeneratioN
10. Code Reverse Engineering
11. Support of Rose Project import
