StarUML is a UML tool by MKLab. The software was licensed under a modified version of GNU GPL until 2014, when a rewritten version 2.0.0 was released for beta testing under a proprietary license.
After being abandoned for some time, the project had a revival to move from Delphi to Java/Eclipse and then stopped again. In 2014, a rewritten version was released as proprietary software. However, the open source version's community is still active and many topics are discussed on the forums.[citation needed]
The stated goal of the project was to replace larger, commercial applications such as Rational Rose and Borland Together.
StarUML supports most of the diagram types specified in UML 2.0. Since version 4.0.0 (October 29 2020) it includes timing and interaction overview diagrams.
StarUML was written in Delphi, which is one of the reasons why it was abandoned for a long time.[citation needed]
Currently the newest version of StarUML is available for download with a new proprietary license with tiered pricing.
Formats[]
StarUML 2.0 uses its own file format with the .mdj extension.
Imports[]
