Just to clarify ...
Together/J use the source code as the UML model. When you create a UML model, and save it, you actually save a bunch of java files that directly reflect the model. Model annotation, comments and such are stored as class comments (// and /*...*/).
I haven't use much, but it was usefull to reverse engineer a new project and get the big picture from it.

That would be the kind of tool that I would be interested working on. Because the model is your code. When you give it new code, it is like giving it a new model to render. That was useful to me before, and I'm sure it will be again.

Erik,
It was very interesting to hear your analysis. On the subject of keeping your UML diagrams in sync with the code, isn't that more the matter of a bad tool. How about tools that do Round Trip Engineering
( eg. Together/J). I haven't had extensive experience with these tools, but the change in code is reflected in the UML model. If you add a method in the code, the UML diagram is updated with that method. What are your thoughts on such tools ?

Thanks
