Thats because UML becomes unwieldy for documenting anything other then
aspects of a piece of software.  Try throwing the average Java
application/library into a single class diagram ;)
If you want to completely document an application in UML look at books

Read "Executable UML How to Build Class Models"[1].  It is the best book
I have found for explaining in practical terms object oriented analysis,
once you have groked this UML is just drawing pictures.
