Borland Together is an integrated and agile design environment that helps teams accelerate the development of higher quality applications combining the open-source Eclipse platform with the power of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs). Together speeds the application development lifecycle by integrating the Eclipse platform with a design-centric solution built to visually model software, measure quality, and improve team productivity. A visual bridge among end users, architects, and developers, Together is engineered to increase the speed of development, automating tedious tasks that can distract developers from coding. Together technology also helps identify performance issues early in development, when they are simpler and less costly to address.

While I have been working with it for medium size projects some years ago, the current version is not useful at all. If you have drawn more than 10 classes any further changes take ages to complete and I can not waste my time waiting for a pop up menu to be drawn.

| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 8 | 2007-12-29 06:40:39 | | | I am a single developer and it is a good tool for me. I don't know about svn limitation because I am alone :-) I tried eUML, and is really not an UML tool and just a drawing tool with no UML Model. I tried EclipseUML and this is a really superb tool but I don't understand the JEE stuff inside because I am a modeler and not a JEE java architect. Borland Together is my first choice for Eclipse.

Integration with SVN is busted such that if you copy or move a package element in the model, it copies the SVN metadata but does not svn move or svn copy that metadata. The result is chaos: two folders pointing to the same SVN repository folder.
When the pathnames for model packages exceeds some internal Eclipse limit, Together will strangely corrupt large portions of the model's XML files.
Awesome code reversing but not configurable or repairable. If the code or model get out of sync, getting them back is nearly impossible.
No support for multi-language models: one has to pick either a UML model, a C++ model, a Java model, etc from the start and remain exclusively within that. Only model transformations (which create cloned, mutated models) allow one to model systems of multi-language systems.
No support for SysML.
Good for very small models and single developers but definitely not suitable for complex models and large teams.

Check out Borland MDE tutorial to see what I mean. Also if you have legacy UML 1.x models and want to convert to UML 2, Together makes that really easy to manage both. Maybe 3-5 yrs from now, most tools will have it, but I have to give credit to Together for pushing the commerical side of UML2, and grateful thanks to the free UML tool developers for keeping on their heels.

| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 1 | 2006-03-26 08:23:28 | | | This tool is only useful for the small size (having less than 500 classes) projects. If you use with large size projects, it hangs.
Warning: Model informations are stored along with the source code as comments. Hence don't try to format or delete this; you will loose the interactions.

| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 3 | 2004-02-22 08:01:50 | | | Way to expensive for Eclipse users. UML tools are better than the ones in XDE, so it might be useful for WSAD users. Checkstyle has better code auditing for free.
