Uml2.0 modeling tool has appeared

According to the Poseidon for UML 2.0 published this month, gentleware has a place among the leader in the new Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0 specification modeling tool.

Marko Boger is the CEO and entrepreneur of gentleware, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. He thinks his company is the leader in the competition to achieve UML 2.0. Boger introduces that the new tool set allows interaction between all model diagrams and provides the ability to interact with other UML tools.

Boger told eadt that in July, OMG members agreed that this implementation method makes up for the inability to share images in previous versions. "XMI standards are designed to solve this problem, but they have problems ." "OMG wants to fix this in UML 2.0," Boger said ."

Boger founded gentleware about three years ago. It aims to provide a modeling tool based on the improved open-source argouml toolset. The former has limitations in both technology and market. Boger participated in the development of argouml, but he was very early aware of the shortcomings in the "productization" preparation of this technology. One year later, gentleware released its first UML modeling tool, and quickly caught up with industry leaders rational and togethersoft. The two companies have been acquired by IBM and Borland respectively.

Observers predict that various uml2.0 tools launched by companies such as Borland, IBM, and telelogic will have a huge impact on the market in a few months. But Boger insisted that, compared with other companies, gentleware's "Internet market and sales strategy determine the difference in its price strategy ."

The multi-platform Poseidon tool set in the Standard Edition for developers is priced at $199, and the high-end professional version is priced at $699. The price for developing embedded systems is $1,249. These tools can be downloaded from www.gentleware.com.
