Plugin for UML in Eclipse - uml

Please advise me for plugin that I can install in my ecliipse(indigo) for generating uml and sequence diagrams from existing code.

My personal favorite is http://objectaid.com/
It quickly visualizes java class as UML, there is also commercial tools for sequence diagrams

The best UML for Java with Eclipse Indigo is EclipseUML Omondo but not free and very expensive.
You don't today have any other tool for indigo which can do this job. Some other tools say they can do it but I have never been able to install them or to successfully reverse a simple method into a sequence diagram !!

Export DSL from MagicDraw

I made an UML profile (with stereotypes) in MagicDraw. I also made a special diagram type for my profile as well as some new buttons.
But when I open my project on another PC, everything is gone - I can't see my diagram or my buttons any more.
How can I export/save my DSL settings?
On their website MagicDraw UML states that models generated in ver 1.7 of java might have issues with working on java 1.6.
I think this is true for the latest ver of MagicDraw UML.
Maybe your first PC is running 1.7 and the other 1.6.

uml plugin for netbeans 6.5.1

i looked for uml plugin for netbeans 6.5.1 but i can not find the link,
where can i download UML plugin for 'Netbeans 6.5.1' ide ?
and is there any tutorial on how to use it?
Read this. The UML plugin can be found in this version of NetBeans by default.
The plugin was not moved from the main installer to the update center and can be installed via the Tools > Plugins menu in the IDE.
Five diagram types are supported: activity, class, sequence, state and use case diagrams.

What IDE should I use for Linux module development?

I have Ubuntu 11.04 and am looking to start developing Linux modules. I use Visual Studio for C development in Windows, but I guess that's not an option for Linux. What would be a good IDE to work Linux modules ?
Depending on what you want to do there are number to choose from. However I think the closest one to visual studio equivalent will be eclipse.
From the FAQ:
Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on
building an extensible development platform, runtimes and application
frameworks for building, deploying and managing software across the
entire software lifecycle. Many people know us, and hopefully love us,
as a Java IDE but Eclipse is much more than a Java IDE.
The Eclipse open source community has over 200 open source projects.
These projects can be conceptually organized into seven different
"pillars" or categories:
Enterprise Development
Embedded and Device Development
Rich Client Platform
Rich Internet Applications
Application Frameworks
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
The Eclipse community is also supported by a large and vibrant ecosystem of major IT > > > solution providers, innovative start-ups, universities and research institutions and > individuals that extend, support and complement the Eclipse Platform.
One very exciting thing about Eclipse is that many people are using
Eclipse in ways that we have never imagined. The common thread is that
they are building innovative, industrial-strength software and want to
use great tools, frameworks and runtimes to make their job easier.
It is all just a matter of personal preference.
Apart from what was mentioned in a similar question, I would like to name two more.
In our kernel-related projects, my colleagues and I currently use Geany lightweight IDE which is more than enough for us.
I also use Code::Blocks that resembles Visual Studio 2003 very much, it also does its job well. It has more advanced code completion features than Geany, I suppose.
Eclispe is always a popular choice and a very nice IDE
Eclipse (http://eclipse.org/) is a pretty good IDE. I have tried a few other ones such as KDevelop etc, but I have always found Eclipse to be the best and most stable.
Eclipse + CDT + at least a dual core processor and some Go of RAM and it will be a great adventure to navigate into the kernel sources.

How can I create a class diagram from my J2ME project? (NetBeans used to do this)

I have created a game and would like to automatically create a class diagram from my J2ME code. NetBeans (pre 6.5 I think) used to have UML plugin to do this, but as I am using the latest 6.8 version of NetBeans I can't use this old UML plugin anymore!
Does anyone know how I can automatically create a class diagram from my J2ME project?
Unfortunately, I try to find any free reverse engineering uml tool and find nothing good except netbeans uml editor.
EclipseUML Omondo Free Edition is quite good, but on free edition do not support reverse engineering As far as I know. But if you need a one time diagram - you can try trial EclipseUML Omondo Studio Edition. But in this case you need port project to eclipse - not so hard as it looks. Good luck!
umbrello seems to do the job! link text
Although I do have to manually drag and drop classes to get them to display! but thats better than making the whole thing manually I suppose!

Is there any good UML modeling tool with version control support?

I've been searching the internet a lot for UML modeling tools that support version control systems, like svn, but I haven't found anything about it. Does anyone know a good uml modeling tool, preferrably free, with version control support?
You might try BOUML : http://bouml.free.fr
It has a "file control" plugin that should do the trick among cvs, svn and others
Not free but EnterpriseArchitect Sparx Systems is pretty cheap and works well with various version control systems.
If you are on a mac OmniGraffle works pretty well, but I wouldn't call it full-featured.
As for the SVN, why don't you just save the UML layout file itself in the SVN, that way you don't need the integration.
Just a shot in the dark, but Visual Paradigm might do the trick.
