Yellicode Modeler

Yellicode Modeler is a free and cross-platform modeling tool for creating Yellicode models. A Yellicode model is a subset of a UML 2.5 model, and is stored in a .ymn file that you can use directly in your code generation templates. All elements and relationships from the meta model are supported by Yellicode Modeler.

Unlike most UML tools, Yellicode Modeler does not support diagramming (yet). Instead, it lets you focus on the details that matter for code generation and provides easy-to-use editors that let you edit code models very quickly.
