Is Rational XDE Developer IBMs next-generation modeling technology?
Rational XDE Developer not only improves UML support and other modeling capabilities but also goes far beyond that: it helps accelerate development by combining modeling with development into one tightly integrated environment, facilitating many aspects of development that a simple modeling tool — even Rational Rose — can’t accomplish. Note, however, that Rational XDE Developer is not a replacement for Rational Rose; IBM will continue to support and maintain Rational Rose.
