Open Source UML Tools

PlantUml allows to quickly create some UML diagram using a simple textual description language.

Yaoqiang BPMN Editor is a graphical editor for business process diagrams, compliant with OMG specifications (BPMN 2.0 / DMN 1.1).

Tools to allow Z specifications to be written in Microsoft Word. Includes a unicode font for Z symbols. Provides: WYSIWYG editing fully integrated into Word; Typechecking using fuzz (for Spivey Z) or CZT (for ISO standard Z); Indexing and cross-referencing; Diagrams of specification structure; Conversion from Spivey to Standard Z- also available as a stand-alone program and Java class for non-windows users. See project website for details.

Design/Reverse Engineer/Generate Scripts/Compare Versions of all major databases with "Apricot DB" ERD- tool "Apricot DB" is a database tool for design and analysis of the relational database structure. It represents the DB- structure in the form of editable Entity/Relationship Diagrams (ERD). "Apricot DB" allows to perform reverse engineering on the existing database, as well as to create a new database structure from scratch. Allows to generate the essential DDL- scripts for CREATE/DROP/DELETE- operations based on the current ERD. "Apricot DB" supports two popular ERD notations: the "Crow's Foot" and "IDEF1x". The databases supported by Apricot DB: Oracle; SQL Server; MySQL; MariaDB; PostgreSQL; DB2/DB2 LUW; H2; SQLite Your feedback is appreciated.

FOML is an expressive logic rule language that supports object modeling, analysis, and inference. It naturally supports model-level activities, such as constraints (extending UML diagrams), dynamic compositional modeling, analysis and reasoning about models, model testing, design pattern modeling, specification of Domain Specific Modeling Languages, and meta-modeling. FOML can reason about: 1. The model meta-data (meta-model level reasoning, or syntax reasoning) 2. Data level: reason about a model and its data (instance model, i.e., diagram) FOML is built as a semantic layer on top of PathLP - a compact logic rule language of guarded path expressions, an adaptation of a subset of F-logic.

A multi-language IDE written entirely with C#.NET. My goals include giving developers a framework that will allow them to add new languages, provide diagramming services to support language modeling and visualization (eg UML Class Diagrams, etc).

Green, an Eclipse plugin, is an advanced yet simple UML class-diagram tool, developed primarily for student use. It does live round-tripping, so it's easy to move between diagram and code views. It's extensible: users can define their own relations

JointJS is the open source HTML 5 JavaScript diagramming library. JointJS is a comprehensive framework for building fully interactive diagramming tools and application builders. JointJS makes it easy to create visual languages & tools of various kinds. The event-driven nature together with MVC architecture of JointJS makes it easy to plug-in any backend application. Whether you're creating a state machine builder, modeling tool, voice application designer, system monitoring tool, electronic circuits simulator, information system browser and editor, implementing a visual programming language or building a graph visualization with interaction, JointJS is the toolkit that makes your life easier.

UMLetino is a free online UML tool for fast UML diagrams. It runs in your browser, and does not require any installs. It is based on UMLet (which is available as stand-alone tool or Eclipse plugin), and shares its fast, text-based way of drawing UML sketches. Main features: install-free web app; support for many UML diagram types; simple, markup-based UML element modifications; png export.

Takes in a simple text file and converts it into a UML diagram. Currently simple sequence diagrams are implemented. The diagramming space on Linux boxes isn't great and I wanted a way to quickly put together a sequence diagram.
