Key differences for XDE users

Rational® Software Architect and Rational Software Modeler present a new paradigm for code and model development. Learn about the major differences between XDE and the Rational modeling products in the Rational Software Development Platform.

Software Architect combines the visual modeling aspect of Rational XDE with the advantages of visual editing and transformation services, while Software Modeler provides stand-alone UML 2.0 modeling. The XDE Import help topics refer to both Rational Software Architect and Rational Software Modeler as Rational modeling products. While most of the help topics apply to either tool, several topics that discuss visual editing and transformations only apply to the Software Architect product.
