PRESS RELEASE

New Application Architecture Visualization Features in MagicDraw UML 8.0

Golden, Colorado – September 6, 2004 – No Magic, Inc.®, a leading object-oriented tools company, today announced the release of MagicDraw UML 8.0 the latest version of its visual UML modeling and CASE tool with teamwork support. This versatile development tool increases productivity of, and communication among business and software analysts, architects, programmers, quality assurance engineers and documentation writers by providing visualization of the architecture.

New MagicDraw UML 8.0 presents a visual image of existing applications through its new feature: Java reverse engineering of code to sequence diagrams. Also, MagicDraw UML 8.0 imports a UML model from any source – an XMI import or a reverse engineering operation – and visually displays it. A new, sophisticated diagram layout engine with seven layout options automatically aligns the generated diagrams for a professional look and feel.

“Business needs are placing ever-increasing demands for productivity, rapid development, and cost cutting on their IT departments. MagicDraw’s Version 8.0, through Java source code reverse engineering to sequence diagrams, through new diagram wizards for easy model visualization offer the most productivity increasing UML tool in the industry,” stated Saulius Kaukenas, Director of Product Development.

In addition to the model visualization and presentation enhancements, Version 8.0 contains new integrations with Borland CaliberRM™ requirements tool, BEA Workshop™, Eclipse 3.0 and NetBeans 3.6. To facilitate documentation – always the bane of IT – MagicDraw UML 8.0 allows even easier text formatting with HTML for model documentation.

MagicDraw Version 8.0 also includes:

• Major improvements in MagicDraw UML modules handling. From now on, every project can have shared packages that might be visible in other projects, which use such project as a module.
• Integration with NetBeans 3.6.
• Integration with Eclipse 3.0.
• Customizable Quick Property tab with the most used element properties for convenient and fast editing of the selected elements.
• Support for additional UML profiles for Enterprise Distributed Object Computing (EDOC) and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI).
