The new UML diagram tools in Netbeans 5.5 are looking really
interesting. I am starting to use it on our project. It allows two
way integration from diagram to code and back again.

I know this isn't the complete solution for what you want because it
doesn't show database relationships between schema entities and I
haven't yet figured out how to do this either. But I'm hoping that it
might be extensible in some way.
You could always use EOModeler on a Mac to do what you want. It draws
nice diagrams. Just a shame it is 1) going away, 2) doesn't open
Cayenne XML models.
