Hello, I'm a Play! Framework newbie but I'm getting excited by its features.

Do you know about the existence of any UML design tools for models?

Thank you.

The only tool I know is this plugout for BOUML:
https://gna.org/projects/plugout-jpa/

It generates JPA models from a UML class diagram.
But it seems to have not been updated for a year…

Mhmm, ok, thank you. Maybe I'll go with manual modeling.

UML is nice for docs not for devs ;)

I can recommend using Oracle's JDeveloper (only latest version, previous are very buggy!) for developing Play applications and especially models.
It will generate the basic bean-code automatically (using your UML diagram), so it's easy to define all classes and basic relationships first 
and then alter the generated code and implement (play-)specific things in the models.
Using UML during and for development will also help you keeping the overview if you have to deal with many models and relationships.
Take a look at the attached screenshot.

Note: you have to add the dependent play-libraries to your jdeveloper/play project yourself, as for jdeveloper there is no command like "eclipsify"

I'm using visual paradigm in netbeans.

You only nee to be careful when generating code and than updating your uml from code, after you made changes to the code. Most of the time it works fine, but sometimes the packages get mixed up. Can also be my own mistake …

Anyhow, recently dropped all my work and started re-designing the app we are making; We'll use play 2.x, but we don't know yet whether it will be with scala or only java ...
