After being abandoned for some time, the project had a revival to move from Delphi to Java, before stopping again. Meanwhile, an unaffiliated community fork was created under the name of WhiteStarUML. In 2014, the original developers rewrote StarUML and released it as Shareware under a proprietary license.

The stated goal of the project was to replace larger, commercial applications such as Rational Rose and Borland Together.

StarUML supports most of the diagram types specified in UML 2.0. Since version 4.0.0 (October 29 2020) it includes timing and interaction overview diagrams.

Formats

StarUML 2.0 uses its own file format with the .mdj extension.

Imports

Can import files from StarUML 1.0 using format .uml. Also can import a fragment from a .mfj file.

At the end of 2011 StarUML was forked under the name WhiteStarUML. It addresses various issues most notably related to handling recent version of Windows and modern screen resolutions. The definitive update was posted in March 2018.

The last update by the developer on 4th April 2020[3] indicated that WhiteStarUML development had ceased. Reasons cited include the difficulty of working in Delphi, as well as the lack of community interest in supporting the project development.
