C/C++ Free UML-Based C++ IDE for Code Generation

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the search for free Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) that can generate C++ code from UML diagrams. While there are several UML tools available for Java, such as Omondo and ArgoUML, options for C++ are less clear. Visual Studio, although not free, includes a UML toolkit that may support C++ development, but its compatibility with standard C++ versus C++ .NET is uncertain. Users are encouraged to explore online resources for additional UML tools that specifically cater to C++. The conversation highlights a gap in available tools for C++ compared to Java, prompting further inquiry into suitable options.

Hi,

Does anyone know of any free IDE that can generate C++ code from "drawing" in UML?
 
Technology news on Phys.org
I heard of something that does that with Java, relating to Eclipse (maybe a plugin) but I do not remember the details.
 
For Java there are quite a few UML tools (Omondo, ArgoUML, everything but the kitchen sink Visual Paradigm and many others), they can as well generate code from the diagrams. As C++ goes try to ask Oncle Google if he knows any UML tools that generate C++ code.
 
If you are using Visual Studio (I know its not free but it is popular and you might know someone with a copy) it comes with a UML toolkit since 2003 iirc, although it might be new to 2005. I never use the thing and am at work where I can't check exactly where it is on Start Menu etc... but it does exist. I have never used these tools so they might not support vanilla C++ and only C++ .net considering how Microsoft generally are like that. It might come with the free version on Visual C++ .net too, but I can't be sure without downloading it as there appears to be little information on the ms webpage about it...

Hope this is somehow useful...
