Why Was UMLet Created?
Common UML toolkits are complicated
and expensive
 Common UML toolkits are not easy to
use to create quick UML diagrams
 Common UML toolkits are platform
dependent

How is UMLet Different?
Free
 Simple to Use
 Portable (java based)
 Easy to deploy
 Lightweight

Competition


Violet
Same audience
 Quick and easy to create UML diagrams
 Intended for students, teachers, etc.
Both written in Java and able to be run in
Eclipse.
 Violet – more user friendly layout
 UMLet – more customization
