PlantUML is an open-source tool allowing users to create diagrams from a plain text language.
UML was primarily designed as a design tool. It is not so effective (these days) as a documentation tool. Typical IDEs help you to visualize many aspects if a code base structure on the fly. This is often better than relying on UML diagrams that may have become out of date / inaccurate.
You can create UML project for any of your Java project in Eclipse.
As far as I know I keep the most extensive list of textual UML tools here: http://modeling-languages.com/uml-tools/#textual
Hope you'll find at least one that you like
