I like Poseidon, myself. But I don't do a lot of modeling.
Take a look at Visual Paradigm. One of the editions may have all the
features you're looking for.
The limited community edition is free, but the enterprise edition can even
model your databases with ERD's.

I suggest you try Jude as IchBin suggested. We use Jude a lot at work
and we are very happy with it.

Hi Daniel

Umlet Eclipse UML Plugin. Very (very) simple, but intuitive.

Very useful for quick diagramming to be used as pictures/documentation. No
code generation in the plugin I have.

Martin Fowler liked it....

Cheers
Simon

MagicDraw's another. Community ed. is good and free.
I've used both MagicDraw and Poseidon, each have their plus's and
minuses.

He's right - Jude is good and it is free and it does more than Poseidon or
ArgoUML.
I suggested Poseidon, then saw this post - and checked it out.
Jude works a little different than Poseidon and ArgoUML - but it has 2-way
import-export of java files.
I'm looking at Jude a little more, now.
