See project website for details.

The Object-Role Modeling (ORM) standard version 2, associated schemas and generation tools, and a reference implementation in the form of the Natural Object-Role Modeling Architect for Visual Studio (NORMA) product.

EMFTrace extends the EMFStore repository by elicitating dependencies between related models of different modeling and programming languages. The explicit recording and modeling of different types of dependencies as traceability links shall support evolutionary changes by impact analysis, early evaluation of quality flaws, and better comprehension. It is an open source project to support the practical application of research results regarding development methods for evolution of software architectures and for software reengineering. EMFStore is used for integrating models and source code from different tools and vendors, while EMFTrace provides means for dependency detection, dependency visualization, and change impact analysis.

EasyStruts provide advanced support for developing Struts web applications with Eclipse . keywords: MVC, Struts, Eclipse, Java

Duplicated source code can harm maintainability of software systems. Duplo is a tool to find duplicated code blocks in large C, C++, Java, C# and VB.Net systems.

Fourth generation database designer and code-generator for educational purposes and speeding-up database designing and creating work.

Executable UML command-line interpeter and metamodel. Intended future import-export compatibility for proprietary xtUML and iUML metamodels and model compilers. Emphasis on analysis/implementation separation and parallel processing implementations.

Buildap is a Visual Component Based Development framework. It is available as standalone tool as well as Netbeans and Eclipse plugins. SVG viewer/editor and Diagram Editor are also available. See Buildap powered project at http://e-records.buildap.com/.

A openArchitectureWare based Generator for deriving a WS-Agreement document from a formal description of a (Web-)Service and its associated assertions (SLO) to Quality Of Service (QoS). You can use predefined QoS parameters as well as introduce new ones.

Djinn is a java bytecode static analyser. It can produce various dependencies graphs of arbitrary granularity (jars, classes, packages, etc.) and provide a flexible query engine. Update 15 apr 2013: I resumed developpement recently, project has moved to https://github.com/fabienbk/djinn

Dzine is a case tool for OOAD. Draw use case,interaction,class,deployment,ER Diagrams. Code generation in C++ and java and for SQL. Reverse engg design from code. Just put in your Java or C++ code and generate class diagrams.

Plugin for the CASE tool Fujaba. It enables the use of Velocity templates in activity graphs. Primary usage: Code generation in model transformations in association with the plugin SPin.

A minimalistic CASE tool that will allow end-users to analyze their graphs (plain-old graphs, UML diagrams, ERDs, etc.) by applying various graph theory functions to them (such as a shortest path algorithm or a spanning tree algorithm.)

Green, an Eclipse plugin, is an advanced yet simple UML class-diagram tool, developed primarily for student use. It does live round-tripping, so it's easy to move between diagram and code views. It's extensible: users can define their own relations

Open Source CASE Tool made in Java. Allows Code Generation, UML modeling an BD design

Hayta-UML is a Web2.0 UML tool, that allows users to draw UML diagrams. A core design decision is to have a native version-control inside the application.

*** This tool has been superseded by ".Net Architecture Checker" at https://sourceforge.net/projects/dotnetarchitect/ ***. (ILDASM-Dependency Checker checks code dependencies in .Net projects to ensure a stable architecture).

Business analysys/documentation management tool, inspired by the book "Writing Effective Use Cases" by Alistair Cockburn. Key wanted features are:managing & browsing versionable project requirements,use-cases,screen specs,docs generation,work with JIRA

Jupe is a UML Plugin for Eclipse. It provides support for the creation of UML class diagrams, Java code generation and reverse engineering. Jupe is based on the GEF and UML2 frameworks and supports Eclipse 3.2.

CASE tool

MyBPMN is the free BPM(BPMN) Solution that will enable you to model, execute and improve your business processes through a graphic environment and without the need of programming.

Nmdepend is a lightweight 'link-time' dependency analyzer for C++. It uses object files and libraries instead of source-code as input. It can help to manage 'cross-directory' dependencies. Dependencies can be visualized in combination with Graphviz.

A simple visual editor for drawing OPJ models; these models represents an extension to the classic Petri-net diagram; they were developed before the unification of OO methodologies and the relative release of the first UML specification.

ObjectBuilder is a C++ code generation CASE tool (CASE, code generation, refactoring, documentation generation). It lets you create, manipulate and navigate classes, class relations, class members and class methods at a high level of abstraction. ObjectBuilder dramatically simplify work with C++ project architecture. I use it and think that tree OO interface targeted to C++ more fast and power than UML class diagrams. ObjectBuilder perfectly organize C++ header files with any level of complexity. Even if you use loop-references if OO hierarchy, you need include only one project-level header file. You can easy modify and refactore existing project with cut/copy/paste ANY object (from Method Argument to entire Project) within project and between ObjectBuilder projects. ObjectBuilder is not an IDE tool. It is portable two-way architect code-generation tool.
