Version 5.2 SP2 of Visual Paradigm for UML Modeler Edition
Release Notes: Instant Reverse was enhanced to support Java 1.5 syntax. In order to let you reverse engineer on specific sources, you can select them for Reverse source on demand. A grouping feature allows you to organize shapes in groups, and group selection resources help you align or distribute selected shapes more efficiently. A model comment utility was included for attaching comments to interested elements. The selectable option can make certain diagram elements read-only and focus on only the interested ones. A "Jump To" Feature was added to Published Project.
Other releases
Release Notes: New features include the ability to customize UML by profile diagram, project management properties, C++ round-trip code engineering, automatic translation, automatic expansion of diagram margins, the ability to specify testing procedures, generation of the PHP doctrine layer, BPMN conversation diagram, XPDL generation, and JPDL generation. Enhanced features include the flow of events editor, the glossary grid, business process modeling, Visual Diff, Animacian, concurrent modeling with VP Teamwork server, rich text documentation, and Java round-trip code engineering.
Release Notes: This release has a number of new features, including support for mind mapping diagrams for organizing ideas and thoughts, increased effects for publisher published Web content, more robust annotation support via Callout and Freehand shape, the ability to create translated copies of a model through the use of Nicknamer, support for defining Requirement types and displaying in Tabular view, and Perforce integration. In addition, Report Writer has been upgraded to use a newer version of the engine, which makes it more stable and allows it to support editing both the model and report simultaneously.
Release Notes: Improvements were made to modeling, interoperability, database modeling, code engineering, and team collaboration. This release supports bookmarking diagrams and shapes, batch processing through running command-line operations, modeling with stored procedure and database triggers, navigating to a source file after Instant Reverse, and much more. Other useful features include enhancements of the sequence diagram, jumping to a diagram via the Jump To dialog box, and importing Telelogic Rhapsody projects.
Release Notes: Reverse engineering of ERD from DDL was introduced. ERD models like entities, views, and relationships can be generated by reversing the data definition language. Images can be incorporated into documentation. Documentation structure can be saved as a template for reuse in other models. Hibernate annotations are supported in ORM persistence. Hibernate version tags can be generated for optimistic concurrency control. Ada95 and Flash ActionScript 3.0 code can be generated through the Instant generator.
Release Notes: Integration with CVS and SVN was added. Importing and exporting UML2 models is supported through XMI. More types of candidate object can be identified from textual analysis. Element sorting in reports was added. Diagrams can be grouped by category in the diagram navigator. ERD is conformed to database by enhanced database reverse. Participants will be shown in the business process report. Business use case is supported. The FrontBase database is supported. A diagram summary can be included in report generation.
