With the Rational June 2006 Product Release, IBM withdrew the “XDE” family of products and introduced the Rational Rose family of products as replacements.
The UML capabilities were superseded by Rational Software Architect around 2006, with Rational Rose becoming a legacy product.[4] As of 2011[update], the ER modelling part (Rational Rose Data Modeler) has been superseded by another IBM product—Rational Data Architect.[5]
As of 2024[update] IBM no longer sells Rational Rose, with all mentions except support pages being removed from the website.
