Papyrus is an open-source UML 2 tool based on Eclipse and licensed under the EPL. It has been developed by the Laboratory of Model Driven Engineering for Embedded Systems (LISE) which is a part of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA-List).
Papyrus can either be used as a standalone tool or as an Eclipse plugin. It provides support for domain-specific languages and SysML. Papyrus is designed to be easily extensible as it is based on the principle of UML Profiles.
Papyrus is a graphical editing tool for UML2 as defined by OMG. Papyrus provides support for UML profiles. Every part of Papyrus may be customized: model explorer, diagram editors, property editors, etc.[citation needed]
Papyrus also provides a complete support to SysML in order to enable model-based system engineering. It includes an implementation of the SysML static profile and the specific graphical editors required for SysML.
A variant of Papyrus, Papyrus for Real Time (Papyrus-RT), implements UML-RT, a domain-specific language (DSL) designed for real-time embedded systems development. UML-RT is a UML-based variant of Real-Time Object-Oriented Modeling (ROOM).
