Visual Paradigm project for the Unified Modeling Language (VP-UML) is a UML CASE tool. The tool is designed for a wide range of users, including Software Engineers, System Analysts, Business Analysts, System Architects alike, who are interested in building large scale software systems reliably through the use of the Object-Oriented approach.

VP-UML supports the latest standards of Java and UML notations and provides the industry's full round-trip code generation and code reverse engineering support for Java.

In addition, VP-UML is integrated with Eclipse/IBM WebSphere, Borland JBuilder, NetBeans IDE/Sun ONE, IntelliJ IDEA, Oracle JDeveloper and BEA WebLogic Workshop to support the implementation phase of software development.

The transitions from analysis to design and then to implementation are seamlessly integrated within the CASE tool, thus significantly reducing efforts in all stages of the software development life cycle.
