  2. What is it? Rational Systems Developer is a UML diagram editor, but much more than a diagram editor. It is a powerful tool for software design. It is based on Eclipse, and supports UML 2.0. In INF113, we will use it to develop several kinds of UML diagrams: Use Case, Activity, Sequence…… Please note that it is not an active product now, it has merged with Rational Systems Architect in 2009, but they are very similar.

  3. Where you can find it? The first choice is to buy it from IBM, however, it is very expensive! You can download a free trial and install it on your own desktop/laptop. The BEST choice is to use it in ICS labs! (ICS 183, 189, 192, 193, and 364 Windows labs) http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lab/labs_specs/software.php

  4. How to use it? Rational System Developer I will use a simple use case diagram to demonstrate how to use it step by step (Other diagrams are similar). This example is to develop a simple Phone book application:

  5. How to use it? - Start it. Rational Systems Developer

  6. How to use it? – Create Your 1st Project (1) Follow: File> New> Project> Others Select UML Project, then click Next Key in MyPhoneBookUMLProject as project name Select Blank model Key in Phone Book UML Model as UML model’s file name, remember to cancel create a default diagram in the new model. Then, click Finish. Step by step screen shots follows:

  9. How to use it? – Create Your 1st Project (4)

  10. How to use it? – Create a Use Case Diagram (1) Follow: In the model explore view (left part of the window), right click: Phone Book UML Model, then select Add Diagram> Use Case Diagram. Key in UseCaseDiagram as the file name. Use Palette to draw the diagram. Just select elements (actor, use case, association…) you want to use in your diagram, and click the panel.

  13. How to use it? – Create a Use Case Diagram (4) You can edit the properties here

  14. How to use it? – Publish (1) You can publish your design in web page and document format: Modeling> Publish> web (document)

  15. How to use it? – Publish (2) Select the folder to publish to

  16. How to use it? – Publish (3) Input the folder address, you can view the published content in web explorer

  17. How to use it? – Publish (3) You can view the published content by click the hyperlink in frontpage.

  18. More resources? IBM developerworks, search the tutorials and documents for Rational Systems Architect (very similar to Systems Developer) Various technical forums… Books: (I don’t suggest you buy them!)
