Visual Paradigm for UML is a powerful, easy-to-use UML modelling and CASE tool. Visual Paradigm for UML Modeler Edition lets you draw all types of UML diagrams, reverse source code to UML models, generate source code from UML diagrams, and much more.
It features the latest UML support (use case diagrams, class diagrams, component diagrams, etc.), incremental round-trip engineering, instant reverse for Java, C++, Dot NET exe/dll, XML, XML Schema, and CORBA IDL, Rational Rose support, Microsoft Visio integration, and report and HTML/PDF documentation generators.
Enhancements:
- Reverse engineering of ERD from DDL was introduced. ERD models like entities, views, and relationships can be generated by reversing the data definition language.
- Images can be incorporated into documentation.
- Documentation structure can be saved as a template for reuse in other models.
- Hibernate annotations are supported in ORM persistence.
- Hibernate version tags can be generated for optimistic concurrency control.
- Ada95 and Flash ActionScript 3.0 code can be generated through the Instant generator.

Agilian is a complete modeling environment designed for applying agile modeling. Agilian removes the limitation of notations. Architects, project managers, analysts, designers, and developers can express their ideas freely with any notation which is suitable.
Main features:
UML modeling
- Improve modeling efficiency with an easy to use, complete and stable UML 2.1 modeling tool.
Database modeling
- Improve database documentation quality with sophisticated ERD and Object-Relational Mapping diagrams.
Team collaboration
- Perform modeling collaboratively and concurrently with advanced Teamwork Server.
Requirement modeling
- Design and document requirements systematically with SysML requirement diagram.
Business Process modeling
- Understand, analyze and improve your business process with the most easy to use BPMN tool.
Documentation generation
- Share your design with your customers in various document formats (PDF, HTML and MS Word).
Version restrictions:
- 30 Days Trial
Enhancements:
- This release added branch and tag capability to the VP Teamwork Server with Subversion and CVS repository integration.
- This allows different modeling projects to be run in parallel while keeping the release quality project stable in the trunk.
- A User Interface Designer was introduced for creating screen mock-ups in the early stages of a software development project.
- Usability of the Sequence Diagram was increased.
- There were also a number of enhancements for various other features.

DB Visual ARCHITECT (DB-VA) offers software developers an excellent solution for database applications development. DB Visual ARCHITECT is an Object-Relational Mapping tool which provides an easy-to-use environment bridging between object model, data model and relational database.
DB-VA not only empowers you the visual modeling capability for performing both logical and physical data design, but also automates the roundtrip mapping between object model and data model.
Developers save enormous amounts of time using DB-VA to manage the coding of SQL and JDBC transparently with Plain Old Java Objects (POJO), as DB Visual ARCHITECT empowers software designers to perform roundtrip engineering of a relational database into a Class Diagram, and to an Entity Relationship Diagram and vise versa. Likewise designers can also create a database from entity relational models or class models visually on the fly.
DB-VA also generates a cost-effective, reliable, scalable and high-performance object to relational mapping layer. The generated mapping layer includes the support of transaction, cache and other optimized features. DB-VA increases the productivity and significantly reduces the risks of developing the relational mapping layer manually.
Main features:
Automate the Mapping Between Java Objects to RDBMS Tables
DB Visual ARCHITECT helps mapping between Java objects to relational database. This act not only preserves the data, but also the state, foreign/primary key mapping, difference in data type and business logic. Developers are no longer necessary to handle those tedious tasks.
Re-engineering Application Based on Legacy Database
DB Visual ARCHITECT allows you to reverse database (DB Reverse) tables through JDBC into UML models. You can form Class Diagram from the reversed models and redesign the legacy database without pain.
Multiple Database Support
DB Visual ARCHITECT promote easy migration between databases by enabling the same set of ORM Java objects to serve different databases. Besides, the tool help transforming proprietary data-type into one that suit the default database which is specified by user.
Well Proven Visual Modeling Technology
DB Visual ARCHITECT inherits the visual modeling environment from Visual Paradigm for UML, a well-known UML CASE Tool that provides intuitive inline editing for both Class Diagram and ERD. This truly what-you-see-is-what-you-get diagram editing facility reduces the effort and time in design the system.
Enhancements:
- Reverse engineering of ERD from DDL was introduced. ERD models like entities, views, and relationships can be generated by reversing the data definition language.
- Images can be incorporated into documentation.
- Documentation structure can be saved as a template for reuse in other models.
- Hibernate annotations are supported in ORM persistence.
- Hibernate version tags can be generated for optimistic concurrency control.
- There are also a number of enhancements for the modeling features.

jBixbe is a high level object-oriented Java debugger.
When debugging Java applications the object-oriented aspect is often ignored. So it is difficult to determine which object is the currently active one.
jBixbe gives you a new innovative way to debug Java applications on the conceptual level of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) at which they are designed and makes it possible to find not only simple bugs but also weaknesses and insufficiencies in application design.
Snapshot
It shows also the big picture of your application so you can realize classes, objects, their relationships and interaction. Different view levels support top down debugging and simplifies debugging of multi-threaded applications. The well-known source code debugging has been fully integrated into the object-oriented visualization.
Main features:
- Different view levels
- Display classes, threads, source files and breakpoints
- Display message exchange between objects
- Display object relationships
- Well-known source code debugging
- Representation of long strings
- Display local variable values
- Project management
- Simple, user friendly GUI
- Drag & Drop of primitive values and object references
- Display object references as links
- Many kinds of breakpoints
