2. Introduction StarUML is an open source UML tool, licensed under a modified version of GNU GPL (General Public License). It is based on UML (Unified Modeling Language ) version 2.0, and provides eleven different types of diagrams. It actively supports the MDA (Model Driven Architecture) approach by supporting the UML profile concept and allowing to generate code for multiple languages . StarUML is one of the most popular UML tool in the world. It has been downloaded over than 3 millions and used in more than a hundred of countries. Version : The current version is 5.5 and the last update was in August 29, 2014

3. System Requirements Windows 2000, Windows XP, or higher; Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher; 128 MB RAM (256MB recommended); 110 MB hard disc space (150MB space recommended ) The tool supports code generation and reverse engineering for Java, C# and C++. License & Pricing Open Source Installation The installer follows the classic Windows install procedure without issues . Web Site http:// staruml.io/downloads

4. StarUML makes a clear conceptual distinction between models, views and diagrams. A Model is an element that contains information for a software model. A View is a visual expression of the information contained in a model, and a Diagram is a collection of view elements that represent the user’s specific design thoughts .

10. Extensibility You can easily find and install extensions from Extension Registry. Moreover, anyone can write extensions using HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and Node.js. Open APIs allows to add Menus, UI, Dialogs, even new modeling languages (e.g., ERD, BPMN, SysML , etc.).

11. Pros/cons Pros / Features of STARUML Supports most of the diagrams specified in UML 2.0. Very rich feature set and formatting options. Ability to generate source code from the UML diagram. Reverse engineer the existing code into UML diagrams. Supported languages : C++, C# and Java. Fast load time/execution time compared with other UML tools. Familiar Visual Studio like user interface. Supports exporting diagrams into JPG / XMI formats . Cons of STARUML Does not supports exporting diagrams into SVG format.
