2007.12.17 Not much, other than that with the minor experience I gained with it, it requires little learning and works pretty intuitive. Well done!
2007.12.12 JUDE is not too bad but not really convenient to use.
2007.12.11 JUDE is a very useful tool for professionals or students that are involved in Software Development.
2007.12.07 Better print options
2007.12.06 I've known JUDE/Community in a pos-graduate course in 2005. I think it's easy to use, standard compliant and have a user-friendly interface. I like it!
2007.12.05 This is a great tool for students and professionals. I am very glad JUDE exists.
2007.12.05 Having the community edition is a good idea and a successful way to gain customers.
2007.12.04 JUDE rules. It's the best UML diagram editor that I have found. Simple to use, and fast. Thanks.
2007.12.01 Some strange behavior on OSX with colors and highlighting but as you don't support that ... hopefully version 5 will fix it.
2007.11.30 Easy java integration like a plugin in net beans would be nice.
2007.11.29 If JUDE could support Java 1.5 Generics that will be better.
JUDE teamAnswer: [Import Java] of Java 5.0 source code is available since 5.2!
2007.11.25 In previous version, I had problem printing large diagrams, and in some sequence diagrams can't find some elements, for instance, to represent 'loops', and conditionals.
2007.11.21 JUDE is a great UML tool, it's a simple and functional. Thanks to the JUDE team for your efforts in providing this service!
2007.11.20 Java 5 support for exporting and import java code.
JUDE teamAnswer: [Import Java] of Java 5.0 source code is available since 5.2!
2007.11.19 Looks splendid. When importing, you immediately have good documentation (in regards to Class diagrams). This is what I have seen thus far.
2007.11.18 I think it's the best CASE tool. Everyone I know uses JUDE.
2007.11.18 JUDE rocks - I recommend it every chance I get.
2007.11.18 Since I'm not a software architect, I never pushed JUDE as hard as I could. For my simple UML purposes, JUDE is doing fine until now.
2007.11.16 Keep up the good work, it's an excellent product!
2007.10.30 I can only complain about the missing Mac OS X integration and support. (It runs very well though)
2007.10.24 Congratulations for the JUDE team. JUDE is a great tool for all the software community.
2007.10.22 Well, you did a great job. I've use JUDE to create small, not-so-complex diagrams than can be easily understood by colleagues and clients. JUDE is enough for almost everything.
2007.10.18 I think that JUDE/Community is a good teal for learning UML modeling.
2007.10.15 Feature request: please add ability to change the font and size, box border color and thickness, line color and thickness.
JUDE teamAnswer: Changing Font and size is available in JUDE/Professional version!
2007.10.04 Please make a Linux version, I actually made it run under Linux, but some features are locked...
2007.10.04 In my humble opinion, JUDE has a simple and very intuitive GUI that helps any newbie who wants to try to face UML. I did not fully explore the tool, so many things are still unclear to me, but I like what I just had tried and I think it's a valuable program.
2007.10.01 Run as Eclipse Plugin.
2007.10.01 All my students use JUDE/Community.
2007.09.26 I would appreciate generics support in java export.
2007.09.25 JUDE modeling tool is the best ever seen into the current systems around the world. It is compatible with all platforms and easy to manage.
2007.09.25 The error messages should explain better what's happening.
2007.09.19 Please make the user interface more and more beautiful.
2007.09.18 JUDE is very easy to use. Never seen any diagram and case software this way. Thank you.
2007.08.22 There is nothing to say, just thank you so much and go ahead and let's make the JUDE's world!
2007.08.17 It is very useful and easy to use even though it is your first time to use it.
2007.08.09 The negative point is that JUDE doesn't support business modeling.
2007.08.06 Having good tutorials with plenty of examples is a good idea. People do get stuck and it is good if they can find answers they need at the one stop location rather than having to search other sites.
2007.08.02 JUDE is a good program, but there are some things that JUDE can get better with. JUDE could allow programmers to write the body of functions in one place, and this code can be converted to Java code, equally as it makes with the attributes.
2007.07.28 JUDE is, in my humble opinion, one of the best tools to model.
2007.07.20 Please, let JUDE not become a tool that forces me into using the UML metamodel. What I want is a *drawing* tool (with code generation facilities for the others, I don't use this anyway). When I draw a sequence diagram I want to add classes/actors without being forced to first define them in a class diagram! Also, if I draw arrows in Sequence Diagram, I want to give them titles and call arguments without having to select them from a list of the classes' methods (which in turn must be defined in a class diagram).
2007.07.08 Continue to keep a 'free' version, because that makes it easy for others to try - and it is important that many people use JUDE.
2007.07.06 This is the best free software I have ever used. Congratulations for the good work!!!
2007.07.05 A more generic charting/diagramming mode similar to "Microsoft Visio" would be nice.
2007.07.04 An open plugin-mechanism to develop MDA generators would be nice.
2007.06.29 I like JUDE. It is easy to use and Mind Map support is a great feature.
In the future It would be great if JUDE/Community edition is also available as an Eclipse Plugin.
2007.06.28 I'm very satisfied to know that JUDE works with UML 2.0 now (for how long?)... The last version I used was working only with UML 1.5....old days...
2007.06.22 I would recommend this product to anyone who is modeling their designs.
2007.06.22 Possibility of specifying one entity as logical only, physical only; Possibility of make index for entities like UNIQUE; Possibility of export code for other languages than JAVA, like PHP; Possibility of to generate the SQL script in specific dial.
2007.06.18 JUDE is very suitable for the teacher. I hope to learn it very fast.
2007.06.14 The idea of integrating with Mind Map is great. Keep up the good work.
2007.06.11 The ability to customize hot keys for the context menu options of the diagrams would be great. ie, I want to add an attribute to a class in a class diagram, instead of right clicking and choosing the appropriate option, I should be able to set up a hot key like Ctrl+A to do that for me.
2007.06.07 Congratulations! It is one of the best UML modeling tools I have tried.
2007.06.06 You could add the ability to define Extensions on JUDE projects, or saving Extensions in another format, that could be imported to a JUDE project.
2007.06.01 Congratulations for the very good tool. I used other tools but the quality of JUDE is incomparable.
2007.06.01 Thank you for providing the community version.
2007.05.28 Good thing that you made it in java, that way linux and mac users can also use it, thanks.
2007.05.27 On Mac OS X, JUDE would look and feel more like a true Mac application if the menu bar was at the top of the screen rather than the default Java Swing menu style of being embedded within the application window.
2007.05.25 I love JUDE, and like an enthusiastic one to purchase it on a commercial application, pointing the purchase on my future professionally.
2007.05.24 UML 2.0 fully support, BPEL modeling (also in the free version), built-in CVS/SVN client.
2007.05.17 Thanks for the Portuguese language version, it's excellent.
2007.05.15 Having tried several UML modeling tools, I (and my classmates) have found the community edition of JUDE to be precisely what we need for our assignments. Other UML vendors tend to either restrict their products way too much for them to be of any use, or complicate the use by selecting licensing schemes that scare students away from their products. With JUDE, you have found the equilibrium between the two poles. Thank you :-)
2007.05.14 idea Print on more than one page!
2007.05.13 idea Export code to Delphi
2007.04.12 satisfaction Keep up the good work! And don't stop the free version!
2007.04.08 It seems JUDE/Community used under linux does not work well (window resizing problem) with beryl or compiz (3D Desktop).
2007.04.08 Don't you think it's not very smart not to support Java 5 when Java6 is already available?
Answer: [Import Java] of Java 5.0 source code is available since 5.2!
2007.04.07 idea Implement UML2.0 in the JUDE Community version.
2007.04.04 satisfaction I'd like to thank JUDE developer team.
2007.04.04 idea Interface needs more user-friendly.
2007.04.03 idea It would be good a Portuguese version.
2007.04.02 satisfaction Keep up the good work!
2007.03.31 idea I've found JUDE slowing down as my model grows larger, so we've been making it a practice to build separate models, each forcused on a particular topic area. This leads to the desire to copy the odd class back and forth.
2007.03.27 idea It will be better if you could make an installer for linux, like an install.sh file.
2007.03.27 idea Nothing more now, just translate JUDE to Portuguese or Esperanto.
2007.03.26 In Poseidon software when I move the mouse on diagram pics, it appears buttons to create the diagrams and its relationships. Because using this process I don't need to click on the toolbar buttons, and I can see all the possibilities involving this pic. This is a very helpful resource, and could be used in JUDE too.
2007.03.26 satisfaction I hope this software is so good as people said at some websites.
2007.03.23 satisfaction It's a very good tool, but it doesn't have a full linux support.
2007.03.21 satisfaction JUDE is a very good modeling tool. It's easy to use and I am sure it can supply your expectation and help solving your problems on a very simple way.
2007.03.18 satisfaction This program is a good tool for the analysis.
2007.03.14 satisfaction Thanks for your work - great product!
2007.03.09 idea Site in Portuguese for the Brazillian.
2007.03.09 satisfaction I like JUDE, I have used quite a few tools and found it very light weight and easy to use.
2007.03.01 satisfaction I would like to say thanks to everybody involved on this excellent project.
2007.02.27 satisfaction I'm being introduced to other tool at my college and we are using JUDE to learn which proved to be very intuitive and user friendly. Congratulations!
2007.02.24 satisfaction Do not change anything in your approach you do a very good work ! Keep this tool easy to use and avoid the huge amount of gadgets that make expensive tools... JUDE is simple and effective I advise all the students I know to use itcBye and thanks again for your "community" approach! (from France)"
2007.02.23 request What about Business Diagram?
2007.02.23 request Is there any online UML tutorial with a case study using JUDE?
Answer: Take a look at Learn UML with JUDE.
2007.02.23 request Code generation is not really a concern and I am more concerned in features that make it easier for the development team to keep the models up to date.
2007.02.22 request JUDE runs faster and the user interface is more responsible in OSX than on my PC.
2007.02.14 satisfaction I only have to say thank you for making JUDE. I can't see my life without it, so THANK YOU!
