roundtrip

Hello,

Many UML tools claim to do forward / reverse engineering of Java code. However, it turns out from prior experience, that few tools really work in this area.

I haven't been doing Java projects for 3 years, and want to get up to date with the current status in this area.

In Particular I am interested in Creating State Machine Skeletons from Diagram, be able to create hooks to my own code, and be able to reverse engineer the State Diagram back (Do not want to change the State Machine itself outside the Tool).

Which UML tools works in this area? Enterprise Architecht? Visual Paradigm? Others?
