This post was published 2 years 11 months 24 days ago and as such probably does not reflect my current opinions, knowledge or ability.Sick of Argo UML’s lack of an undo function and feeling too poor and studently to pay for UML editor software (or use demos which won’t last right through my project), I figured I’d try getting Umbrello (a KDE application) working under Windows. The results? Fantastic.
Umbrello is a pretty simple UML editor though it does support a range of different views and diagrams. It makes it as easy as possible to draw a simple diagram, then lets you alter and add to it as your design is refined. Everything seems to work fine under Linux with the exception of exporting to an image.
The instructions you need to follow to install Umbrello – and a range of other KDE 4 applications such as my favourite text editor Kate – under Windows can be found on this wiki page.
If you give it a try let me know whether the install works for you. I hate having to learn to use a different piece of software for each platform I work on.
beacause the same reasons as you i need to use Umbrello on Windows, thank you
Thanks, I hope you got it working too. KDE applications under Windows have been far more stable than I expected, and really easy to install.
