Golden, Colorado - June 25, 2002 – No Magic, Inc.®, a leading object-oriented systems software development company, today announced the release of MagicDraw UML 5.5, the latest version of its visual UML modeling and CASE tool. This versatile development tool increases productivity for business and software analysts, programmers, QA engineers and documentation writers.

One of the few modeling tools supporting all nine UML diagrams, MagicDraw UML 5.5 facilitates analysis and design of Object-Oriented (OO) systems and databases. It supports the latest Java, UML, and XMI standards and provides the industry's best code engineering mechanism, with full round-trip support for Java, C++, and CORBA IDL programming languages. MagicDraw also provides database schema modeling, DDL generation and reverse engineering facilities. 

 

New Key Features and Benefits of MagicDraw UML 5.5:

 

·         UML 1.4 support. Full support for UML 1.4 semantics and notation.

·         XMI 1.1 support. Save and load, import and export using XMI 1.1 file format.

·         Common Intermediate Language (CIL) reverse engineering. Through reverse engineering of .NET bytecode (CIL or MS IL), you can now capture designs created through applications and systems written for the .NET platform.

·         Integration with IBM's Eclipse platform. Automatically synchronize your model in MagicDraw and your code in Eclipse 2.0.

·         File storage in CVS. The built-in CVS (Concurrent Versioning System?) interface allows easy, safe storage for your project files.
