CASE Tools
There are several tools available on the market that supports UML. For any project of size, it is recommended that some tool be used. Pencil and paper can suffice, but is difficult to maintain. These tools are listed here as a reference only with no particular recommendation. I personally use Rational Rose, but there are several excellent tools available. These are but a few of the tools I was able to find using the internet search engines.

Would you consider adding Netbeans 6.5 with the UML plugin to this list? It does support all of the points were outlined regarding UML design. Also, it is free - as in beer.
