[NPL] Platform Independent UML Modeling

PLATFORM-INDEPENDENT UML MODELING AND SIMULTANEOUS ROUND-TRIP ENGINEERING

DATE: Monday, July 6, 1998

Object International announced today the release and general availability
of Together/J 2.0. Together is the first platform-independent UML modeler
that delivers *simultaneous* round-trip engineering. The Whiteboard Edition
is available free for a limited time from http://www.togetherj.com

Object International also announced the upcoming release of two additional
products: Together/C++ and Together Enterprise, will ship later this
Summer.

BEST OF BREED. The independent Java-development organization Mozilla
recently selected Together/J over all other Java modeling tools
(http://mozilla.alsutton.com/jazilla/case/). Mozilla is now posting
Together-generated multiframe HTML documents on the web. "One diagram is
worth 100 lines of documentation. And when you can generate a complete,
easy to read HTML documentation and publish it on the Web, you have got a
great tool to share your knowledge. That's one of the things I appreciate
with Together/J" reports Thierry Bezecourt (thbzcrt@worldnet.fr) of
Jazilla. To view an example, visit
http://services.worldnet.net/thbzcrt/mozilla/Netlib/_multiframe.html

Miko Matusumura (miko@miko.com), the Java Evangelist at Sun's Java
Division, said, "Together/J is a killer app for seeing, learning, and
guiding the process of object design and the icing on the cake is that it's
written in Java!"

Java Report (7-98) reports, "[TJ is] a mind-blowing enhancement to the
repertoire of all Java developers from novice to guru."

FOUR EDITIONS. Together is available in four editions: Whiteboard,
Standard, Developer, and Enterprise.

The Whiteboard Edition features simultaneous design-and-code editing,
supporting the way designers and programmers really work: design first, or
code first, or do some of both at the same time. Developers use it on
brand-new projects; developers use it on existing projects, too. This
edition features UML class and package diagrams. The Whiteboard Edition
delivers simultaneous round-trip engineering for Java. The Whiteboard
Edition is intended for solo programmers, building applications in Java or
C++; it is also intended for analysts, designers, and programmers who wish
to take Together for a spin. Free for a limited time.

The Standard Edition adds multiframe HTML documentation generation and
wall-chart printing. This edition features UML class and package diagrams.
This edition includes external tools access (launch an editor or IDE; or
interact directly with a version control system). The Standard Edition
delivers simultaneous round-trip engineering for Java. The Standard Edition
is intended for designers and programmers working in a small company,
building applications in one language. US price: $750

The Developer Edition adds customizable code construction and customizable
reverse engineering. This edition features a family of UML diagrams:
use-case, package, class, sequence, collaboration, and state diagrams, key
ingredients for serious application development. This edition also includes
Rational Rose import and export. The Developer Edition delivers
simultaneous round-trip engineering for Java. The Developer Edition is
intended for analysts, designers, and programmers working in a mid-size
company, building applications in one language. US price: $2400

The Enterprise Edition adds essential features for enterprise-wide
application development. It features very flexible, fully customizable
documentation generation and information export, using Java itself as the
scripting language. The Enterprise Edition delivers simultaneous round-trip
engineering for multiple languages. The Enterprise Edition is intended for
analysts, designers, and programmers working in a large company, building
applications in multiple languages across the enterprise, and generating
corporate-standard or government-standard documentation. US price: $3600

FEATURES. Together includes these features (new 2.0 features are marked
with asterisks):

1. Simultaneous round-trip engineering

2. UML: use-case, package, class, sequence, collaboration*, and state. Plus
Coad: object models and scenario views*

3. Fully customizable* code construction and round-trip engineering

4. Large project support: display control (by element, by category), view
management with autoupdate (physical and logical package content), source
and diagram-layout files (as scalable as your file system itself)

5. Documentation generation (HTML doc gen. Frames and image maps of all
diagrams.* Clicking on a class member in the generated image displays the
corresponding text documentation.*)

6. External tools access* (invoke your favorite Editor, IDE, or version
control system directly from within Together)

7. Import from and export to Rose*

8. IDL generation*

9. Extensive configurability* (key system properties are now modifiable in
configuration file, including: text editor tab size, highlighting of
diagram elements, code generation and parser blueprints, file templates,
default stereotype list, stereotypes in color)

10. Versatile in-place diagram editing (Full-declaration editing of
attributes and operations.* In-place editing of link labels, roles, and
cardinalities.* Optional auto-detection and display of dependencies.*)

11. Fully customizable information export* (Java API to Together's
transient repository; user-definable scripts for generating custom
documentation, metrics, and other outputs)

12. Tested for NT, 95, Solaris, Linux, and OS/2
