After being abandoned for some time, the project had a revival to move from Delphi to Java/Eclipse and then stopped again. In 2014, a rewritten version was released as proprietary software. However, the open source version's community is still active and many topics are discussed on the forums.

The stated goal of the project was to replace larger, commercial applications such as Rational Rose and Borland Together.

StarUML supports most of the diagram types specified in UML 2.0. It is currently missing timing and interaction overview diagrams.

StarUML was written in Delphi, which is one of the reasons why it was abandoned for a long time. Since December 2005 StarUML was not updated anymore, although some external modules were updated[2]

Currently the newest version of StarUML by the original authors is available for download under the handle "StarUML 2". The public beta is available, although not under the GPL license. Final price and new license type yet remains unknown. This version has been completely rewritten from scratch and includes among many features: support for extensions, OS X compatibility and a new graphical user interface.

Formats

StarUML 2.0 uses its own file format, with the .mdj extension.

Imports

Can import files from StarUML 1.0 using format .uml. Also can import a fragment from a .mfj file.

At the end of 2011 StarUML was forked under the name WhiteStarUML. It addresses various issues most notably related to handling recent version of Windows and modern screen resolutions. The definitive update was posted in March 2018.

The last update by the developer on 4th April 2020[4] indicated that WhiteStarUML development had ceased.
