The Unified Modeling Language has become the industry standard for the

expression of software designs. The Java programming language continues to

grow in popularity as the language of choice for the serious application

developer. Using UML and Java together would appear to be a natural

marriage, one that can produce considerable benefit. However, there are

nuances that the seasoned developer needs to keep in mind when using UML

and Java together. Software expert Robert Martin presents a concise guide,

with numerous examples, that will help the programmer leverage the power of

both development concepts. The author ignores features of UML that do not

apply to java programmers, saving the reader time and effort. He provides

direct guidance and points the reader to real-world usage scenarios. The overall

practical approach of this book brings key information related to Java to the

many presentations. The result is an highly practical guide to using the UML

with Java.
