There's an Eclipse plug-in available for feature modeling, described in a paper by Czarnecki (http://www.swen.uwaterloo.ca/~kczarnec/etx04.pdf).

Also, if you are willing to go outside UML pick up a copy of Generative Programming -- they describe other visual modeling techniques.

There are no case tools that I know of that do this but the techniquck is callled FODA ( Feature oriented Domain Analysis ). I think Don Batory at utexaqs first came up with it. It is closley associated with a method called GenVoca. Krzysztof Czarnecki wrote a book and his web page has a downloadable chapter on FODA.

I don't know if it is still there but Beman Dawes wrote an article on how to do this on the boost site.

Take care
