The Fujaba Project

The Fujaba Tool Suite (shortly: Fujaba) is an open source CASE tool providing developers with support for model-based software engineering and re-engineering. The Fujaba project aimes at developing and extending the Fujaba Tool Suite and thus offering an extensible plattform for software engineering researchers. The Fujaba Development Group is permanently developing and extending Fujaba and numerous related tools.

Originally, Fujaba was aimed to support software forward and reverse engineering. That is why Fujaba is an acronym for "From UML to Java and back again".

Fujaba's main features are:

• Powerful, easy to use, yet formal, graphical, object-oriented software system specification language (UML class diagrams and specialised activity diagrams, so called Story Diagrams based on graph transformations)
• Java code generation based on the formal specification of a systems' structure and behaviour which results in an executable system prototype.
• An extensible CASE tool framework for researchers, who can develop their own Fujaba plug-ins.
• Numerous Fujaba plug-ins providing support for example for
  • Reverse engineering of source code by creating UML class diagrams, detecting design patterns, idioms, anti patterns, bad smells,...
  • Model-to-model transformations specified by triple graph grammars, TGGs (also usable in case of model synchronisation)
  • Modelling, validation and verification of embedded real-time systems
  • Meta-Modelling with MOF (OMG meta object facility)
