At our company we have something like this, i don't use it much because im an intern and im trying to learn so m any things but the program we use for uml modeling and reverse engineering is called "logic works ERwin/ERX"

also i thought when i was doing java development in eclipse the eclipse had it's built in uml and reverse engineering. Im not 100% sure about this but we did manage to some how use it with eclipse.

The tool which seems to be favored for working with ABL is Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems ( http://www.sparxsystems.com/ ). If you look on PSDN you will find some discussion of it in the forums and there are some downloads notably here http://www.psdn.com/library/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=249&externalID=620&fromSearchPage=true which will allow you to read in a Progress .df to automatically build classes with the table stereotype.

you can try topcased plugin for eclipse, it's quite neat and it can be "learned" progress to some extent.i have a qiqu xpath script to create the DDL (df) file from a data model (class diagram)... building a script to dump the database structure in a topcased data model shouldn't be that hard since is only xml http://www.qiqu.orghttp://www.topcased.org
