Sprue UML Project kickoff

With the death of the Saffron UML software that so many developers were getting excited about, Actionscript 3 programmers are left without hope for an easy-to-access and specialized interface for developing UML Class diagrams that generate code stubs.

Enter Sprue UML. It's called Sprue UML because of this piece of machinery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprue_(molding)) used to in the process of creating models. Sprue UML is an application built on the Adobe AIR framework that allows users to build class diagrams and then generate class stubs with extensions and documentation output. Usability is the highest priority to allow the user to create diagrams and generate code quickly.

The project is currently in planning phases, and class diagrams, flow diagrams, and information architecture will be added in days to come.
Extensive shortcut keys, code generation templates, and inclusion of the base types found in AS3 will be available for the initial release and help put the usability of the application at the core of the software's functionality. Potential future phases would allow for type auto-completion.
