Papyrus is a UML 2 (Unified Modeling Language) tool available as open-source software, built upon the Eclipse platform and distributed under the terms of the EPL. Created by the Laboratory of Model Driven Engineering for Embedded Systems (LISE) at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA-List), Papyrus can function independently or be utilized as a plugin within Eclipse.

This application supports modeling through Domain Specific Languages and SysML, with a strong focus on adaptability via UML Profiles. Such flexibility allows it to be tailored to various sectors, particularly in systems engineering and embedded real-time system development.

UML2

As a visual editing environment, Papyrus caters to UML2 according to standards set by the OMG. It accommodates UML profiles and grants extensive customization options for elements including the model explorer, diagram editors, and property editors.

SysML

The tool offers robust capabilities for SysML, facilitating model-based systems engineering by implementing the SysML static profile alongside dedicated graphical editors.

UML-RT

A specialized version known as Papyrus for Real Time (Papyrus-RT) supports UML-RT, a Domain Specific Language designed specifically for developing real-time embedded systems. UML-RT derives from Real-Time Object-Oriented Modeling (ROOM).
