Ruby

The Ruby generator supports all class diagramming features of Umple, and generates code that is fully tested.

Ruby code can be embedded in Umple, and Umple can generate Ruby features such as classes, attributes and associations. This can save a lot of boilerplate programming for systems with complex class structures. The generated Ruby code can then be combined with other Ruby code written separately.

The Umple developers do not intended to extend the Ruby generator to support state machines, since there are already Gems in Ruby that provide this capability.
