sdedit – Quick Sequence Diagram Editor
My coworker(his blog is located here) pointed me to this tool and I found it very useful.Quick Sequence Diagram Editor is a tool for creating UML sequence diagrams from textual descriptions of objects and messages that follow a very easy syntax.
Below you may see a syntax example for Sequence Diagram shown in screenshot – it’s very intuitive and easy to understand.
user:Actor
/order:Order
db:TicketDB
acc:Account
user:order.new()
order:return=db.reserve(date,count)
db:return=acc.debit(cost)
acc:return=db.bonus(date,count)
user:order.destroy
The tool supports actors, constructors, destructors, threads and on-diagram comments that can be used to represent conditions or loops.
Diagrams can be exported in PNG format.
Please choose a file named "sdedit-light_no_export_library.exe" to run the sdedit on a Windows Platform. The exe file is wrapped around a Java archive (you still need Java 5 or higher).)

nice tool. but it’s a pitty that i am not able to edit the diagrams with mouseactions
To anonymous: Forget your mouse. If you want to build a standard conform thing, it is totally necessary that this thing is build by a model and not by click and drag objects. You really want such WYSIWYM tools believe me. Otherwise everybody will declare ‘his’ diagram style as the correct standard.
To the program: nice work
