Hi,

One of themain tools is ArgoUML

There are many tools but this is one of the best opensource.

You can find documentation on this on the web site above.

Thanks,

Hi,

If you are starting to learn UML then you should get a book. UML Distilled or UML is a Nutshell which is more of a reference but good all the same.

http://www.amazon.com/UML-Distilled-Standard-Modeling-Language/dp/0321193687/ref=sr_1_1/102-9490180-8816107?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175784920&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/UML-2-0-Nutshell-OReilly/dp/0596007957/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256637216&sr=1-2

Another tools which is NOT free is SmartDraw. Here are some tutorials

I like UMLet. It works on all platforms, including linux.

ArgoUML is the best opensource (free) UML tool.  MagicDraw is the best commercial tool.
For references, Applying UML and Patterns by Larman and UML Distilled by Fowler are the best books.

Here's a free online UML course:

Here are other resources:

Honestly, if possible, you should get an experienced mentor to help you in your quest for UML knowledge.
Best of luck! Mark
