ArgoUML

The Google Summer of Code will this year include four students working with ArgoUML-related things under the supervision of mentors from the ArgoUML project. The following thrilling projects are about to start: ArgoPrint improvements - ... [More] Ion Savin (mentor: Linus Tolke) Critics improvements - Andrea Nironi (mentor: Michiel van der Wulp) Eclipse integration - Pistol Constandache Bogdan Ciprian (mentor: Tom Morris) Graph Layout Algorithm for GEF - Martin Harrigan (mentor: Bob Tarling) We are very glad that Google has giving us the opportunity to welcome these students among us. I hope that you all will give them the best possible support when they run into problems. /Linus [Less]

Hello all! The ArgoUML team is pleased to announce a public release of ArgoUML featuring support for UML 1.4, Sequence Diagrams, and JMI (JSR-40) -- specifically targeting users of the open source MDA tool AndroMDA. Launch with a single ... [More] click using Java Web Start or download for local installation from our download page at http://argouml.tigris.org/download/release020.html. Significant progress has been made since our last stable release (0.18). This includes the following new features: UML 1.4 - Enhanced extensibility features of UML 1.4 including multiple Stereotypes per ModelElement, Enumerations, and enhanced TaggedValue support. Sequence Diagrams - a completely new Sequence Diagram implementation AndroMDA compatibility - AndroMDA is an open source MDA tool which can generate code of a variety of types, up to entire applications, from the UML 1.4 models created by ArgoUML. Improved interoperability - this version reads and writes XMI files compatible with a wider variety of tools. UML 1.3 & 1.4 using XMI 1.0, 1.1, & 1.2 are read and UML 1.4/XMI 1.2 is written. JMI (JSR-40) support - A shiny new model subsystem using the NetBeans Model Data Repository (MDR) implementation of the Java Metadata Interface. While largely transparent to users, it will allow easier upgrades to later versions of UML. Quality - Over 400 bugs have been fixed for this release. Visual enhancements - a fresh new splash screen and support for Java 5 look and feel Most functions now support multiple selection of modelelements. Drag and Drop from the explorer tree into the diagram and within the explorer tree. A lot of hard work has also happened under the covers and we now have the solid foundation required for an exciting year for ArgoUML users. We are confident that 0.20 will be our best and most popular release ever! Note to Current Users A smooth upgrade path is important to us and we have tried to make the upgrade from UML 1.3 to UML 1.4 a painless one. Previous versions of ArgoUML supported UML 1.3 only. The ArgoUML 0.20 will read UML 1.3 and UML 1.4 files, but only writes UML 1.4, so if you have other tools in your tool chain which don't read UML 1.4/XMI 1.2 files, you may need to continue using your existing version of ArgoUML. Previous versions of ArgoUML cannot read UML 1.4 files so you cannot return to your existing version of ArgoUML if you have run ArgoUML 0.20 for a while. Please be sure to report any problems that you find. The ArgoUML team would like to thank you for sticking with us. Remember, no matter what your skills and experience, we are always looking for extra help now that the work continues towards the next stable release 0.22. If you would like to be more involved in making ArgoUML an even better product then get in touch! /Linus [Less]
