Visual Paradigm is pleased to announce the release of Visual Paradigm for
UML (VP-UML) 4.1, a powerful yet the most easy-to-use UML modeling and
CASE Tool. The latest release of VP-UML features several new features and
enhancement over the previous version, such as Object Relational Mapping
(ORM) support, Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD), more extensive UML 2.0
coverage, enhanced Sequence Diagram and new freehand connector style
(curve).

VP-UML 4.1 provides extensive support for Object Relational Mapping (ORM)
and ER Diagram (ERD). The tool helps generating the persistent Java source
code you need to access database(s). It provides multiple database support
which allows you to access various database system (MYSQL, Oracle, HSQLDB,
MS SQL, Sybase ...) with the same set of persistent source code. Another
feature is the ability to generate database from Class Diagram or ERD. You
can design your application with Class Diagram and ERD within VP-UML, and
generate database table from the resulting diagrams. The tool also
facilitate in the reverse engineering of relational database(s). You can
reverse engineer legacy database system (MySQL, Oracle, DB2,
HypersonicSQL, Pointbase, MS SQL, jTDS, Sybase ...) to Class Diagram and
ERD.

In VP-UML 4.1, UML 2.0 support is enhanced to cover new UML model,
notation and diagrams more extensively, which includes Interaction
Overview Diagram, Timing Diagram, Composite Structure Diagram, Activity
Diagram, Sequence Diagram, ActivityPartition (Swimlane) ,Action, Exception
Handler, Timing Frame, Port and many more. For Sequence Diagram, it is not
only enhanced to support UML 2.0 notation, it is also improved in
diagramming features and usability so that it is easier to use and more
reliable than ever before. 

Beside the rectilinear and oblique connector style, VP-UML 4.1 adds the
freehand connector style (curve) which makes it a lot easier to route
connectors in a complex diagram.

 * Object Relational Mapping (ORM) support.
