Enterprise Architect combines the power of the latest UML 2.1 specification with a high performance, intuitive interface, to bring advanced modeling to the desktop, and to the complete implementation and development team.
EA supports generation and reverse engineering of source code for many popular languages, including C++, C#, Java, Delphi, VB.Net, Visual Basic and PHP. Free add-ins for CORBA and Python are also available. With a built in "syntax highlighting" source code editor, EA lets you quickly navigate and explore your model source code in the same environment.
For those working in Eclipse or Visual Studio.Net, Sparx Systems also sell lightweight bridges to these IDE's, letting you model in EA and jump directly to the source code in your preferred editor. You can customize the generated source code to your company specifications by using the code generation templates.
EA helps you visualize your applications by supporting reverse engineering of a wide range of software development languages and database repository schema. Bring in complete frameworks from source code or Java .jar files - or even .Net binary assemblies! By importing frameworks and library code, you can maximize re-use and understanding of your existing investment.
EA supports advanced Model Driven Architecture (MDA) transformations using easy to edit and develop transformation templates. With built in transformations for DDL, C#, Java, EJB and XSD, you can quickly develop complex solutions from simple "platform independent models" (PIM) that are target at "platform specific models" (PSM). One PIM can be used to generate and synchronize multiple PSM's - providing a significant productivity boost.
