The Poseidon for UML 2.0, GentleWare, who implemented this month, accounted for a new Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0 modeling tool leader.
Marko Boger is a CEO and entrepreneur headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. He believes that his company is a leader in this competition in UML 2.0. Boger introduction, the new tool set allows all model graphs to interact, and this provides interaction with other UML tools.
Boger told EADT, and OMG members in April took the lead in recognizing this implementation to make up for the defects that could not be graphically shared in previous versions. "The XMI standard was originally to solve this problem, but he had a problem." Boger said, "Omg hopes to correct this in UML 2.0."
Boger founded GentleWare about three years ago, the goal is to provide a modeling tool on the basis of improving the open source argouml tool set, and the former has a limitations in both technical and market. Boger participated in the development of Argouml, but he had already realized the shortcomings of this technology "productization". One year later, GentleWare released its first UML modeling tool, and quickly catching the pace of industry leaders Rational and Togethersoft, the two companies have been acquired by IBM and Borland, respectively.
Observers forecast, including Borland, IBM, and Telelogic tools, various UML2.0 tools, will bring huge impact on the market within a few months. However, Boger insists that the GentleWare's "Internet market and sales strategy determines the difference between the price strategy compared to other companies."
Developer standard version of the multi-platform Poseidon toolset is worth $ 199, and the high-end professional version is $ 699. Embedded system development is $ 1,249. These tools can be downloaded from www.gentleWare.com.
