Smart Development Environment Community Edition for Eclipse PDF Version
Smart Development Environment Community Edition for Eclipse (SDE CE-EC) is a modeling platform designed for learning UML™ modeling through our best-of-breed and award-winning visual modeling technology that facilitates UML visualization (the latest UML 2.1 notation and all 13 diagrams supported).
Powerful and Easy-to-use GUI
Now developers can create diagrams much faster than any tool on the market through SDE-EC's most intuitive resource-centric and mouse location sensitive GUI. Tidy up your complex and messy diagrams is just a matter of one mouse click by using SDE-EC's automatic diagram layout technology and yet the unique gesture editing capability makes diagramming a fun task.
Extendibility and Custom Design Support
Extends UML capabilities beyond the latest UML 2.1 is not a dream! Now, SDE-EC allows you to design new notation or incorporate custom shapes or symbols by using image icon import, UML profile or Visio integration capability. SDE CE-EC is for non-commercial use only and only support one diagram per diagram type. All output of SDE CE-EC have single line water mark at the top left corner stating the software is for non-commercial use only.
