Eclipse UML plugins

Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/) is a freeware well-known open source IDE. A number of plugins were created, which turn this IDE into a powerful tool. The two freeware UML plugins, which I use with Eclipse are the following:

1. AmaterasUML
   Very simple tool. You have to update diagrams manually if the source code was
   changed (no reverse engineering). However, it supports import from source files to UML diagrams and has a cool automatic diagram layout feature.


2. Relo - Relationship based Exploration
   A tool for large projects, which allows to visualize relationships between
   classes. They have a cool 2min 30sec screencast on the plugin site, which shows how to use this tool (worth seeing)
