Comment from Craig:
MagicDraw UML is a Java based UML modelling tool and round trip engineering suite that runs on most Java VM's. The Beta version of MagicDraw v. 7.0 works using Innoteks port of JDK 1.4 for OS/2. No testing of OS dependent functionality was done eg. printing. I simply saved the .bat file as a .cmd file and it ran. This is a very good product made by a company that has stayed faithful to the JAVA cause "One program all platforms". It covers so many languages serious developers on any platform must at least consider trying it out.
