To reduce rework, interactive storyboarding is effective, but it seems that projects using the technique are limited because of the few tools available. To improve this situation, this article introduces the J-CASE open source Tag Library that lets us describe storyboards on JSPs based on use cases, and explains how to generate documents and UML diagrams from the JSPs.
