How to install

You need to download EclipseUML from Omondo website at: http://www.eclipsedownload.com/download.html

You should select either Java or JEE build when you first time install EclipseUML.

Inside the same team, you can use both Java and JEE build at the same time because the core is the same.

EclipseUML for JEE includes EclipseUML for Java + Model Driven Code generator + Dali/JPA integration.
EclipseUML Jee and Java have been merged on June 18th, 2009. All Jee code generation will now be done directly by AndroMDA 3.3 and not anymore by Eclipse WTP plugin. It will allow the use of the Java JRE as well as JDK with Jee model driven development.
