SDEdit

Create sequence diagrams easily and free of charge.

Sequence diagrams are one of the most effective ways of organizing the interaction of the objects that form a system, to know in a graphic and simple way how the full process works as a whole. The good thing about sequence diagrams is that they follow a very clear structure and, due to this, they can be created from various predefined orders. And that is exactly what SDEdit helps us to do.

  Sequence diagrams in UML (Unified Modeling Language) are something similar to an interaction diagram, but a good thing that SDEdit offers, is the possibility to export the diagrams as PDF, (E)PS, SVG, SWF, EMF, GIF and JPEG, that will surely make distributing them a lot easier.

  One of the big advantages of SDEdit is that is is free, and that it has been release under the BSD license, even though we have to acknowledge that other proprietary software like Rational Rose, Microsoft Visio or Enterprise Architect are a lot more complete.

  Nevertheless, SDEdit can work perfectly when it comes the time of creating sequence diagrams in more or less small projects or for students.

  Requirements: This application requires that you have Java 5 or above installed.
