TextUML Toolkit is an open-source IDE for UML that lets you create models at the same speed you write code. By adopting a textual notation, the TextUML Toolkit provides benefits you will not get elsewhere:

• increased modeling productivity
• compatible with any tools that support Eclipse UML2 models
• the features you like in your favorite IDE: instant validation, syntax highlighting, outline view, textual comparison
• live graphical visualization of your model as class diagrams

The TextUML Toolkit can be used both as a set of plug-ins for the Eclipse IDE, and as a part of a multi-tenant server-side application - as seen in Cloudfier.
