Brief Architecture
eUML2 is built on top of the
UML2 framework of Eclipse as the UML metamodel, which is in fact the
best open source implementation of the latest UML2.1 specification. Particuliarly,
this version supports the OMG XMI storage format, which allows the model
exchange with other UML metamodels.
Recently the eUML2 studio edition has been split into four products:
- eUML2 Modeler adds modeling capabilities to Eclipse: Class and sequence diagrams help developpers to design their code.
- eDepend is an advanced dependency viewer: developpers can get an overview of the dependencies of their code and track unwanted dependencies.
- eEMF Modeler enables the design of EMF models in an easy way.
- eDatabase also known as eclipseDatabase is a general Database Eclipse toolsets. You can use the database diagram editor to create diagrams and their dependencies relationships.
History
This project is a spin off from EclipseUML: in 2002 this UML solution for Eclipse who was the first UML plugin in Eclipse based on the EMF, GEF and UML2 frameworks. The original product was used world-wide by more than 200 000 users. The founder of Soyatec was the co-founder and the CTO of Omondo, he designed and realized the main infrastructure of this product. He left this company with a shared copyright on May 2006, the whole R&D team followed him to take up the challenge. Mid 2006 the first version of eUML2 and eBPMN were released.
