green is a LIVE round-tripping UML class diagram editor, meaning that it supports both software engineering and reverse engineering of existing code. You can use green to create a UML class diagram from existing code, or to generate new code by drawing a class diagram.
green was developed with the pedagogical goal of focusing students on design. However green has proven to be a robust and flexible tool that can easily provide UML support in any environment. green also supports incremental exploration of a codebase. By selecting a class and doing an "incrementally explore" operation, all types which the class is related to are brought into the diagram. All the relationships that green uses are plug-ins to green. This means that at any time you can remove one of the pre-defined relationships, or if you are interested, you can develop your own relationship as a plug-in to green. In our teaching we reveal the relationships one at a time as we teach students about them. green can save diagrams as simple XML files, and can also save diagrams as in a jpg format (for printing or inclusion in a web page).

| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 7 | 2009-11-13 17:06:41 | | | I really like the fact that it can create diagrams from existing classes. But be warned that it does update your existing classes if you make changes to the contents of the diagrams(add a variable, delete a variable, etc). By default it auto-saves these changes. I would turn this off so that if you do something by mistake, you can just not save the changes. The reason this is not a 9 or a 10 is that if you add too much information to the diagram, it crashes Eclipse. I've tried different versions of Green under different versions of Eclipse and they all crash if too much is on the diagram. The trick is knowing when to leave well enough alone, but I haven't learned my lesson yet and it still crashes. I have not created a diagram from scratch so I do not know if that causes any crashes.

And yes it is able to load already written classes (even includes dependent classes if you want it to).
It would be good to have an undo feature for deleted classes.

| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 7 | 2009-06-15 05:15:24 | | | Can apparantly not automatically layout diagrams, this is a big deal... otherwise great! quick, easy-to-use, all the good stuff...
| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 10 | 2009-06-01 05:46:21 | | | This is the tool I searched for. Allows a QUICK, SIMPLE and EASY representation of code as UML (class diagrams). Connections between relations works very well and also codegeneration and especially codeadaptation is reliable. Also to notice: There is no deep link with the UML diagrams and source inside an project: no annoying annotations, comments and garbage files. This is 'pocket-UML' how it should be. MUSTHAVE
| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 1 | 2009-03-16 09:04:05 | | | This basically does not work - it brings eclipse down every time I used it. so I uninstalled it... keep trying to fix it.
| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 10 | 2008-12-24 06:28:34 | | | Very simple and light ... but powerfull !!!! I love it !!!! with only one file (xml green = one diagram) you can modify your code from the UML class diagram !!! Thanks a lot for it !
| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 10 | 2008-11-21 02:59:01 | | | Absolutley the one to go for. Not a Rational Rose, but i haven't found another free & better. I like it.

I am a microsoft .net developper.
I discover Eclipse since few months... it is very exciting.
I already install VE (on Ganymede, very easy) and can create my forms like in .net
Now, this Grenn UML tools is fantastic, very clear and easy to install. I have all my classes on a diagram and can create new... what else !
