So - nothing against your offering, which seems pretty nice... but it's not a "different take". Generating diagrams from code, reverse/ forward engineering such diagrams, and round-trip stuff has been around since the mid-to-late 90's, and some of it was in decent form at the time, as well.

If you can make it more usable, then kudos... but it's not really innovative in any respect that I saw. I wouldn't try to sell it that way - a lot of people with experience with those systems are now decision makers and will consider you to not have done your research if you present this sort of thing as new.

Wasn't Together Control Center acquired by Borland, and what is not
part of their core? I talked to some ex-Borland folk, and my
understanding is that what got them popular was this reverse
engineering engineering support to something useful that they had
added.

Regardless, here is perhaps the question: What in particular do you
like about the video? And, do you use any UML tools? If not, does this
meet your needs? What can we do to help you with the tool?

Thanks!

Take a look at Together Control Center. They had the code to UML view
working in both directions. It doesn't have all the nice GUI stuff your tool appears to have, but they did this some time ago and ended up selling it and
closing the company because they couldn't compete with Rational.

I have been extremely frustrated with UML tooling in the past, and for
the last 2+ years have been involved in a project for building
something very cool. See a video here:

Most UML Tools focus on creating diagrams before coding, but we
believe in having diagrams made from code. Where other tools require
months of work to get something useful, we want to get you useful
results in minutes if not seconds. Some tools require reading lots of documentation to use, but we have wanted a tool that you can get up to
speed in 5 minutes.

What do you think of it? As we are rolling this out, I would really
like to hear your thoughts on what we should focus on to help you with
your work.

Vineet
