[OT] UML Tools for developing Revolution projects

[Igor Couto]

I was wondering if anyone in this list uses UML diagramming tools to 
help in development with Revolution.

If so, have you found that you have had to change the notation much/at 
all?

Also - what UML tools do you use? Most of the tools seem to be directed 
at generating object-oriented code, rather than diagramming. They all 
seem to be cluttered with programming features, and have *very* poor 
interface and diagramming features. The only *reasonable* diagramming 
tool I've found so far is OmniGraffle I have found, however, that UML 
diagrams require a level of flexibility that OmniGraffle does not have 
(ie, linking LINES of text inside one class to another is not 
possible). For UML use, it ends up being *extremely* limited in 
functionality. This means that updating the diagrams is taking FAR too 
long - and then we end up abandoning them altogether, as they become 
more of a chore than a helpful tool...

I would be very interested in hearing other people's experiences with 
UML, and its application to development with Revolution.

Many thanks, in advance, for your sharing.

Kind Regards,
