Joe,

I had looked at KUML a bit back. I even conversed with some of the
developers on the lack of constraints (OCL). They indicated that they
would like to add them, but it was not a priority. As with Argo/UML
there are a few key UML pieces missing.

In addition their host page states

"The program isn't useable currently. Don't start to do your work with
it. Your work maybe will lost. "

which is understandable given it is WIP.

Another problem I see is that it would require KDE installed. While I
personally do have this, I don't know about everyone else. I guess the
same argument can be said about Java.

Finally, with KUML it is not clear as to what format the diagrams are
saved in. They have a feature for XML/XMI but I don't think it is ready.

My thoughts are to keep an eye on all the possible, but I also think
that we need usable solutions now.

Thoughts?
