UML 2.0

"Last week the OMG adopted the superstructure document for UML 2. In practice this means that UML 2 is agreed on. There are numerous changes to the UML in UML 2 - it represents the biggest overhaul to the UML since the UML was originally agreed on. For general users the most obvious changes are probably:

  • Interaction Frame notation added to sequence diagrams
  • Collaboration diagrams renamed to communication diagrams
  • Activity diagrams are no longer a special case of state diagrams - as a result they get a host of new things
  • A notation for composite structures allows you to describe classes hierarchically"

  • Personally, I think UML 2.0 has become a bit of a sideshow to the main event. More and more people seem to be giving up their modeling tools and reverting to whiteboards and a more agile approach - including Martin Fowler, if his Blog's anything to go by.
