  \subsubsection{\cb Why does parseXMI only work with
!   Jython?}
  Finding an XMI parser that is developed enough and has documentation
  on how to use it is difficult at this point in time. The XMI parser
  that Diane used in parseXMI is written in Java, so Jython has to be
! used when using the parseXMI input module.

! The dependancy on and support for Jython will be removed in the
! near future. Diane has discovered a way of allowing parseXMI to work
! under Python. The changes will be checked into CVS in the near
! future. (4/22/2003)
