Is there any way to develop software professionally using UML with Eclipse?
What I find in the end cannot work with version I need to work with or is limited.
I would like to have a UML tool (in the diagram sense, not in the EMF vision of programmatic way of handling meta-models) integrated within Eclipse -Indigo-, and do the normal stuff: diagram, different types, track among diagram elements integrate with the code... (seamlessly generate code).
Tutorials I find either are obsolete, or end up in links which don't exist anymore, reference steps that in the Eclipse version are not like that.
It seems in the end I will have to use a external commercial tool just using code files as communication mechanism. But event that scares me, because in Eclipse stuff is not very stable and in a sudden it may stop working wioth the commercial software.
In summary anybody uses UML seriously in their projects? what are their experiences? with which tools/plugins?

Well, you can say I didn't find a way, but not that I didn't study, and that is the reason why I am asking.
I did follow tutorials: I had to learn to understand EMF/eCore (why should someone designing software care about the mechanisms of core integration?...). Many days checking and pulling the thread to find other topics to read about...
I did try papyrus, and didn't get it working, and still in its very page it said that not all the diagrams are supported.
Ah, now a new term, Topcased -it rings some bell though-... I guess it's a tool over Eclipse/Papyrus which makes transparent things... could be interesting. Let's check:
-"Critical systems Topcased is a software environment primarily dedicated to the realization of critical embedded systems including hardware and/or software." Maybe that is way it rings the bell but I didn't look into it: I am not in embedded systems.
Anyway, thanks and I will take a look, even if it doesn't appear often in google searchs (or wikipedia UML tools) maybe it is true that has many serious -hidden- users.
Looking for "UML Eclipse" in google, nothing about Topcased. Therefore sorry that I didn't check it yet.
BTW in that google search, 5th position, "omondo", and from their main place: "EclipseUML architecture is composed of a live MOF to UML synchronization. Traditional UML Eclipse tools require 4 different stages which add unnecessary complexity. (...) whereas over 3 months would be needed to produce beginner level java code using Eclipse modeling set of open source plugins."
It seems there is someone besides me who found incredibly intricate how UML stuff is managed within Eclipse framework.
Sorry if my comment was not appreciated, but I spoke as a newbie in Eclipse but experienced in UML. I think that should be an interesting point of view for the developers of a technology which aims to incorporate the use UML into Eclipse.
