Are there any UML tools (as Rose) on Ubuntu?

This is not a programming question nor a complete Ubuntu question. I'm not sure but ubuntu.stackexchange.com might be the right place to post this question. – Isotherm 20/9, 2010 at 7:46

I'm not sure I can agree there, @bdhar. The FAQ specifically states "software tools commonly used by programmers". It might be suitable for ubuntu-se as well but I still think it's appropriate here. – Mapp 20/9, 2010 at 7:53

@paxdiablo-thanks for the clarification! :) – Isotherm 20/9, 2010 at 8:23

staruml.io/download/releases/StarUML-3.1.1.AppImage works well for Ubuntu 20.04 – Tabling 19/8, 2022 at 6:52

I use Dia for drawing UML diagrams (as well as other diagrams), but it cannot generate code (at least not without some additional tools, like dia2code). It's more like a general-purpose diagram drawing tool with a decent support for UML.

Umbrello is a tool dedicated to UML-based modelling. It's comparable to Dia in terms of drawing, plus it can export and import code from/to several languages.

The above apps are, in my opinion, the best you can get from Ubuntu. Nevertheless, there are several other apps/libraries that are somehow related to UML modelling. Open System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and type "uml" in the search box.

for lucid, 10.04 w/ gnome Umbrello is crashing every 20 mins – Brumal 25/6, 2011 at 1:11

Umbrello looks like it hasn't been touched since 2008. – Johanson 7/5, 2012 at 20:35

I use argoUML, and it can also generate code. It seems it is not very updated to the last UML standards, but it can succesfully generate C++, Python, and PHP code. I find it very useful.

There is a PPA for ArgoUML called "GetDebs". Read more here: ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/getdeb_apps?dist=precise – Johanson 2/5, 2012 at 13:26

Try a WEB-based modeling tool so that you get rid of the OS contraints! I recommend GENMYMODEL an UML-compliant online tool. All you need is a web browser in Ubuntu as it works on Chrome, Firefox and IE.

Awesome web-based tool – Bondage 28/1, 2015 at 13:40

I use UMLet. http://www.umlet.com/

Download, extract, then type the following to run:

chmod +x umlet.sh
./umlet.sh

Happy modelling.

the recent version on Ubuntu is very buggy. It constantly freezes, for instance, when the user is trying to navigate through folders in the open menu, etc. – Bullroarer 16/12, 2015 at 12:2

If you don't mind using java-apps then you should get an eye on yed. Graphs look a bit nicer than in dia. Dia is fine though.

Dia is a powerful program that handles UML quite well.

Gemmule answered 20/9, 2010 at 7:36 Comment(4)

And the resulting diagrams look horrible. Is true that Dia can handle a lot of things well, but I believe they should "hire" an artist to improve the looks of their resulting pictures. – Gallego 20/9, 2010 at 8:36

@Andrei True, but on the bright side: when you see a diagram you immediately know whether it was made using Dia :) – Latium 20/4, 2011 at 11:25

That's subjective. In my opinion, they look very nice and professional. – Gemmule 20/4, 2011 at 11:37

It looks a heck of a lot better than it did 5 years ago. – Mosby 7/12, 2012 at 18:45

The best UML tool I have used is Asta Uml tool which has a community edition.

The community version has been discontinued. – Crispy 11/8, 2021 at 13:37

I used Dia once in a while, but I do not like it.

I've recently tried Gaphor, which doesn't try to address other diagrams than UML and which is pretty good. I'd really give Gaphor a try if I were you.

Goyette answered 1/3, 2011 at 18:21 Comment(1)

Sadly, Gaphor crashes on Ubuntu 12.10. (Though according to the bugreport, it does work on 13.04.) – Drome 31/12, 2012 at 13:14

I used EclipseUML Omondo with Ubuntu. It worked really well but the price of the tool is really too high !!

Go for Eclipse Modeling Tools. I am just going for it, you may install it on top of existing eclipse http://www.vogella.de/articles/UML/article.html

It is platform independent. It is developed constantly.

You can use Enterprise Architect with Wine: http://www.sparxsystems.com/support/faq/enterprise-architect-WINE.html

I'm using BOUML (version<5.0 because it's not under GPL licence anymore) as it comes with some reverse engineering and code generation capabilities, but also because it can export XMI files.

Bet answered 23/11, 2012 at 15:53 Comment(5)

sourceforge.net/projects/douml check out my fork of Bouml. I've added and changed a lot of stuff and it's still GPL. – Cahan 12/5, 2013 at 17:47

Wonderfull! I'll check it out right now! – Bigener 16/5, 2013 at 7:52

I see from your profile that you are a web developer - pls notify me if there are errors in php part of Douml. I mostly concentrated on C++ so there might be some. – Cahan 16/5, 2013 at 10:50

Actually... Only the Windows version is available. Is it possible for me to compile it on GNU/Linux? – Bigener 16/5, 2013 at 13:30

Yes, there are general guidelines for this in readme.md, plus this guy maintains deb builds : launchpad.net/~pasgui/+archive/ppa – Cahan 16/5, 2013 at 13:37

There's also Visual Paradigm available. If you don't want to/can't pay for it you can use its Community Edition. Caveats:you're limited to non-commercials projects and can only draw one diagram per type (I'm not sure about this last one, at least, when VP was in version 7 had that restriction).

Bye!.
