Apollo for Eclipse is the first commercial UML modeling tool that is based on open source technology developed by the Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) project.
The fully synchronized roundtrip engineering employs the latest releases of UML 2.1 and Java 5 to provide an instant visualization of any existing Java code through UML class Diagrams, and Likewise propagate changes to the UML model throughout the code.
The tool fully integrates into the Eclipse environment, which makes it easy for developers to view code as models, and vice versa.
In short, Apollo for Eclipse is primarily aimed at software developers who want to flexibly combine the advantages of visual modeling using UML (Unified Modeling Language) with programming in Java.
