Are there any uml tools on linux ?

I'm looking for a simple uml tool in linux.Because I'm doing my excercise from school and I want to do it in linux instead of switching to windows. And at least, it can import and export uml file from staruml.
Thanks guys

You can use dia to draw uml diagrams. Don't know if it does what you need though

Re: Are there any uml tools on linux ?

There are several LaTeX packages for uml; here's the result of searching CTAN for uml (though this brings up some unrelated stuff too).

Turning in homework assignments prepared in LaTeX is a great way to impress your instructors. See here for a list of some beginner resources, and texlive in the wiki for installation on Arch.

MagicDraw is by far my favorite UML app. I've been using it for years. Its commercial, but the personal edition is pretty cheap. Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

@frabjous: Thanks for suggesting latex. I really want to dig in latex + vim but I don't have much time now. And 89% of my friends use Windows [so sad], so I'm gonna find a crossplatform one. I'll bookmark all of your links

@joven: After a glance through all tools listed here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Un … uage_tools , MagicDraw is the best featured but I really don't need that much.

I'm gonna try argoUML and MagicDraw.

LaTeX and vim are both completely cross-platform. (And of course you don't need to use vim for LaTeX, though it helps. Don't try to learn both at once, whatever you do.)

I already learn vim and I am really happy to know that there's latex-vim. But our deadline is near, and we've started using starUML from beginning so it'll take time if we make a switch .
But your idea is great, I'll keep that in mind and i'll use latex in my next project

I'm surprised people are suggesting anything besides Dia. I always assumed Dia was the standard most-common cross-platform easy-to-use free UML application. I didn't even know UML applications besides Dia existed.

Re: Are there any uml tools on linux ?

I'd suggest Umbrello from KDE SC. It is outstanding tool. The only issue — it is not very stable, so you should save your progress frequently.

From it's advantages I'd like to mention
1. UML is virtually backed by code (dunno, how to explain correctly), this is not only a graphic editor. You can create, f.ex. custom datatypes, make all possible relations, and all your actions will be then represented as graphics.
2. It supports usecase diagrams, class, component, deployment and relation diagrams. Moreover, for the last type it can generate a valid SQL code.
Ideally, it should generate code for class diagrams too, but the last time I used it, this feature was only declared, but not implemented. At least, for Java.

Also there are Java ArgoUML and Violet.
The first one is also a real UML editor and is even better than Umbrello, it has no relation diagrams, but supports flowcharts, sequence diagrams and some more.
And the other is just a graphic editor, like DIA.

If you use NetBeans, it has a uml plugin that's not half bad too.

+1 for umlet. A really nice tool, which also integrates nice into eclipse if you're into something like that.

You should try Modelio Free Edition. It works on Linux and provides a full support of UML 2 diagrams.
It is really quick to start modeling with this tool.

Re: Are there any uml tools on linux ?

To find out what is available in Arch, all you need is a browser:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages
http://aur.archlinux.org

Just search for "uml".

(Only to remind of some basics... )

Try yEd - graph editor (not only UML). Written in Java.
