I have recently started using a UML application to design a software system that I am building called StarUML. It’s highly addictive because it gives you many of the basic building blocks for designing a very detailed system, and it generates very good looking diagrams. So far I have created Use Case diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, and Class Diagrams with this tool, and they have turned out really well. The only real problem, is that it’s designed for Windows. However, lately I am becoming more of a convert that Linux can suffice as my primary desktop.
So here is what I did to get it running on UBuntu 9.10
Under Applications Select Ubuntu Software Center
Search for Wine
If you haven’t already Installed it – install.
wget
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/staruml/staruml-5.0-with-cm.exe
wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks vcrun6 msxml3
wine staruml-5.0-with-cm.exe
That will install starUML onto your system to run within Wine.
Thanks for sharing your experience!, I just moved to Linux and I wanted to use StarUML (since i had already worked with it) and your blog made me start working in less than 5 minutes.
Thanks!

Thanks for the article, works perfectly on Linux Mint – Gloria (based on Ubuntu 9.04)
Glad it worked for you!

This was straight forward on Fedora 12 too.
I’m glad this recent post popped on my Google search results
I am really glad this post was useful for you. I always enjoy it when I can help someone.
Works on Linux Mint 8. Thanks!!!!!
Great work!
Your post was useful for me too. I can now run StarUML on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty-Jackalope GNU/Linux.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us.
Kind Regards,

Thank you, man!
Worked great on Ubuntu 10.04! Thanks!
tested!!! it also works too me.. some problems with reverse engineering, but in general terms it works
Thank you !
Thanks! Did the trick was getting some errors. Seems sh winetricks vcrun6 msxml3 that was the life saver.
thanks worked for me but installing msxml4 rather than msxml3
Thanks!
