Any body here has used ruby-uml from http://ruby-uml.rubyforge.org/ ??

I dont know how to use it, would you mind to share your experience on it?

OR

Have you found plug-in or gem for generating application code like controllers, models, views to sequence diagram ? I have tried RailRoad, but it can not create sequence diagram, only class diagram for controllers and models.

Thank You for your sharing knowledge.

I have not tried it yet ... but I did notice that the distribution contained an examples directory. From what I can see, you need to write a ruby script to feed files into the generators.

Hopefully, this will help, as I have to admit, I too am looking for a good tool to 1) document the high-level class model and 2) provide basic sequence diagrams. I usually use these to kick-off a refactoring session and as others have noted, abandon pretty quickly once the changes have been identified and the coding starts.
