Currently, a common practice is to model and document architecture based on architectural views. Architectural views conform to viewpoints that represent the conventions for constructing and using architecture views. So far most architecture viewpoints seem to have been primarily used either to support the communication among stakeholders, or at the best to provide a blueprint for the detailed design. In this paper we introduce the eclipse plug-in tool, Software Architecture Environment for modeling Views (SAVE) tool that can be used to model software architecture based on viewpoints from existing viewpoint approaches. In the tool each viewpoint is modeled as a domain specific language which increases the formal precision of the derived views and as such enables model-driven development.
