+BOUML is a free UML 2 tool box (under development) allowing you to specify
+and generate code in C++, Java, Idl, Php and Python.
+
+BOUML runs under Unix/Linux/Solaris, MacOS X(Power PC and Intel) and
+Windows.
+
+BOUML is very fast and doesn't require much memory to manage several
+thousands of classes, see benchmark.
+
+BOUML is extensible, and the external tools named plug-outs can be written
+in C++ or Java, using BOUML for their definition as any other program. The
+code generators and reverses are ones of the pre-defined plug-outs included
+in the BOUML distribution.
+
+Qt 2.3 and higher or any Qt 3 and qmake are required. On some distributions
+like Debian and Ubuntu you also need qt3-compat-headers if you use a
+Qt3. Qt 4 can't be used because it is non compatible with the previous
+releases.
+
+Depending on the options used to produce the Qt library you may have a
+problem during the link concerning the Motif, Motif plus and Windows
+styles. In this case compile BOUML defining the needed pre-processor
+variables QT_NO_STYLE_MOTIF, QT_NO_STYLE_MOTIFPLUS and QT_NO_STYLE_WINDOWS.
