Free not necessarily in the GNU sense, but in the sense of freeware. I've tried the following UML modellers:
Poseidon
UML Sculptor
JUMLi
Well, I don't like any of those. Poseidon has tons of features but is so incredibly slow that it's a pain to work with. UML Sculptor isn't even a finished product, some things still don't work and the feature set is meager at best.
JUMLi, well it's somwhere in between :)
Are there any GOOD UML tools? Has anyone tried the Eclipse UML plugin?
Hi!
I also tried Poseidon and didn't like it either. Now I'm using DiamondSpin and It works great for me. I'm working with IntelliJ but it's also compatible with JBuilder. As far as I know an Eclipse version will be availabe in summer.
Look at http://www.crystalbyte.com for a free download version.

Hi,
I can propose you the free UML tool box I develop named BOUML running under Linux and Windows.
BOUML manages C++, Java and (a little) IDL. For the Java developpers the special plug-out Java Catalog is very usefull.
BOUML is very new, so not yet complete, but already usable ... this not only my point of view :-)
All is available on the site http://bouml.free.fr/, including the documentation, a dedicated forum may help to ask for explanation, send bug reports etc ...
I hope this may help you

Nice, I'll give it a shot.
BOUML is pretty nifty looking, almost exactly what I'm looking for. Alas, it's very buggy and I managed to crash it within a few minutes of poking around.
Anyone have any other suggestions for C++ reverse engineering UML modellers?
Indeed, there was a bug for the WIndows version of BOUML concerning the objects destruction in a diagram. This one occurs from the BOUML release 1.4.5 up to 1.4.7.
Due to a WIndows C++ compiler bug in optimize speed mode. Bypassed in the release 1.4.9 of BOUML (also in the 1.4.8 but this least was fully compiled in debug mode and is slow).
Thank "Sir Fredrick" for the bug detection.

BOUML 2.0 is available at http://bouml.free.fr/, this version is the first compatible with UML 2.0
Note : the old BOUM projects are automatically converted when you load them

@Bouml:
I can't get the source to compile. Just triggering 'make' doesn't work for me, it looks like the compiler doesn't recognize all the QT types. Any ideas?
@rest_of_the_world:
I'm actually extremely happy right now with Visual Paradigm's UML Modeller. It's really one heck of a program. It's extremely feature rich, quite comfortable, looks great and is still quite fast for a Java program.
Unfortunately, there's a catch in it: It's not free. However, there's a community edition, which is at least free of charge, but it puts watermarks in your images when you export diagrams. That's ok with me. I haven't figured out yet when the pattern watermark appears, but the single watermark can be cut out easily anyway. You also have to register with their website to obtain the community key. Check http://www.visual-paradigm.com/product/vpuml/.
These screendumps might also be of interest for you:

Qt installed, qtconfig says it's using Qt version 3.3.4, coming with Debian Sarge (stable). $QTDIR is empty. Compiler is g++ 3.4.2.Quote:

for any kind of Free UML CASE Tools you'd visit http://case-tools.org/free.html
