Borland Together

Together is a product line from Borland, formerly from TogetherSoft (acquired by Borland in 2003), that currently integrates a Java IDE, which originally had its roots in JBuilder, with a UML modeling tool.

The product line used to come in various levels of functionality, called Together Developer, Together Designer, and Together Architect, however, since 2007, they have been unified into a single product. Earlier versions of the Together products were completely proprietary self-contained applications, whereas from the 2006 version onwards they are based on Eclipse. The installation even allows to install Together using an existing Eclipse installation. This version no longer comes in multiple editions, and can be used for all the previous roles.

Technically, Together is a set of Eclipse plugins. Together Developer provides Unified Modeling Language (UML) 1.4 modeling, multilanguage support, physical data modeling, design patterns, source code design pattern recognition, code template design and reuse, documentation generation, and code audits and metrics. Together adds language-neutral UML 2.0 diagramming, business process modeling, and logical data model, and logical to physical data model transformation and custom pattern support.

It supports Eclipse 4.2.2. BPMN diagrams can be created by import from and used to generate output to business process execution language with Web Services definitions (BPEL4WS). Audits and metrics are provided at both the model and code level, defined in Object Constraint Language (OCL) 2.0. It supports Design Patterns, Java 6, C++, and CORBA. Together Architect for Eclipse provides Query/View/Transformation model transformations.
