We're proud to introduce the TopCoder UML Tool: An easy to use, consistent modeling tool for use in Design and Development competitions. The new tool was designed and developed entirely by the TopCoder Community to model sequence, class, use case, and activity diagrams. On top of that, all those elements can have documentation easily attached to them.



Download the UML Tool

Download: TopCoder_UML_Tool_Installer-1.2.6.jarfor Linux and Windows systems

Download: TopCoder UML Tool.dmg for Mac OS X systems


Install the UML tool on Linux and Windows

  1. Make sure the machine you are installing on has the proper version of Java (1.7).
  2. Execute installer jar. The OS may support doing this in the GUI, or you can use the command line: 
    java -jar TopCoder_UML_Tool_Installer-1.2.6.jar
  3. Follow instructions on installer screen.
  4. If you have any questions or you would just like to discuss the UML Tool, go to the forums.
    Installer issue
    Some operating systems supposedly don't support creating shortcuts (icons) according to izPack documentation.

Install the UML tool on Mac OS X

  1. Drag the application from the disk image to your "Applications" folder. When the application is first run, the file associations for XMI, TCUML, and ZUML will be added.

Uninstall the UML tool

  1. An icon should be created for the uninstaller (if you selected to install icons, and if the izPack installer supports icons for your OS).
  2. If there is no icon, or for some reason you wish to uninstall manually, go to wherever you installed the app and run the Uninstaller\uninstaller.jar file. This can be done in the GUI if your OS supports it, or else run java -jar uninstaller.jar from the Uninstaller directory.

That app is cool.Unfortunately,I find a few bugs.
Issue:
I create a class diagram.Then I want to use the arrow-line to represent relationships like extends,implement.
I create that arrow-line,but after I connect two elements.If I drag one of the elements,the arrow-line won't follow the drag one.What's worse.After drag operation,I can't delete that arrow-line.
Thanks very much for your app.And I'd like to see you fix that.Just like visio's arrow-line,that's good.

I am also getting the same error.... can anyone please help me solve this.

Posted by karthsharma at Apr 03, 2012 11:45

Could you please try run as administrator ?

Posted by ywu at Apr 04, 2012 19:29

well, we can see that a known issue is;

Installer issue
Some operating systems supposedly don't support creating shortcuts (icons) according to izPack documentation.

thats the reason for getting those Exceptions, just can't create the shortcut, i had the same issue but it install fine, you can open the tool from the folder where you put it, there is a file in the bin folder named "run.cmd" just execute it and you'll have the tool running

Posted by danpe91 at Apr 16, 2012 18:50

Same issue, here (win7 x64), though that's not the major problem - the installer hangs at that point with no clean way to exit. Seems like the app isn't completely installed or not installed properly - although the app will start (bin\run.bat), files can't be created.

Here's info from the log when trying to create files/projects.

Humm,

 I'm having the same issue and since the previous posts were back in April and I don't see any reply as to what we needed to do. I supposed this not resolve and/or no one is supporting this tool?

Posted by tc4me at Jun 04, 2012 09:55

The solution seems to be to run the installer with the JRE 1.5

Posted by volodymyrk at Nov 27, 2012 18:29

I'm on a mac osx, getting similar errors as above, more specifically,
downloading the .dmg file is fine, but when you attempt to execute it after its mounted you get a corrupted file from the os.
I also tried to get the sources from svn and build it, but no luck,
ant compile generates tons of errors, I started cleaning them by installing ispack but
after that many other errors are still happening,
here's a quick log of the ant compile if someone can look:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1094793/antlog.txt
also my ant diagnostics:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1094793/ant_diag.txt
thanks a bunch,

When I setup the tool, it runs successfully for the first time. After that, it doesn't run. The file /bin/Log.txt contains the error details, here are them (attached) along with the entire log file.

I'm using x64 processor OS Windows 7 Home Premium

Im trying to install the app on Mountain Lion but when I open the disk image I get the following error:"TopCoder UML Tool" is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

Is it compatible with that OS? Or do you have any workaround so I can use it?

Posted by solids1 at Feb 09, 2013 11:43

You have to go into your System Preferences and under Security and Privacy where it says "Allow applications downloaded from:" select Anywhere. This is should do the trick.

Thank you. That was very helpful.

Posted by abj at Apr 26, 2013 21:22

I have downloaded & installed it. But when i am trying to open the tool, the cmd appears & then goes out.
The tool is not opening.
I am using Win 7 64 bit version.
