I've been working in Eclipse Juno with ADT for a couple of years. Eclipse has a "Modeling Tools" version that I've downloaded hoping to find UML and ERD modeling that can be used to diagrammatically design the data, logic and presentation layers for Android apps and then generate the prototypes and SQL code to create the template. With the "Modeling Tools" version, you still need to install several components, many that I'm unfamiliar. Is there a recommended or best-in-class configuration of tool components that would support this endeavor, minimize my learning curve and get me to a well functioning UML and ERD environment?

Here is the desired workflow; 1) visually design the app using class defs, inheritance, interfaces,...in a presentation, logic, data layer form, 2) create the code prototypes (codegen) from these diagrams (and underlying tables), 3) modify the gen'd prototype code as needed, 4) reverse these mods into the diags as needed, 5) create awesome documentation of the final app from the diagrams and associated design metadata, 6) have an ERD capability to model and generate the data store as either a database or structured file (e.g. XML, XSD..). These capabilities seem to be fragmented in Eclipse.
