Papyrus is an open source UML modeling tool based on Eclipse technology. After many years of incubation, it will be released in June as part of the Eclipse Luna common release. This presentation describes what is Papyrus, why it was originally created, who's using it, and what the future may hold. This presentation was given as part of Eclipse Day Montreal 2014, held June 10, 2014.

Why Papyrus?
• New Eclipse projects are cool
• Software industry shift continuing:
– Build ? ⟼ Buy ? ⟼ Use
– Proprietary ? ⟼ Open
• Opportunity to organize and provide industrial
strength alternative to proprietary tools

Where does Papyrus come from?
• Developed as an open source project,
primarily by the LISE team of the
Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique (CEA) in
France
– to support development of real-time embedded
systems
– also led the definition of OMG’s MARTE profile
