[Uml-devel] Newbie comments

Like any newbie, I had some ideas/suggestions for Umbrello (UML?) that have 
probably been rehashed many times, but I didn't see them on the webpage, so 
I'll take a shot here...  

For one, code import doesn't seem to work entirely for C++.  Namely, when I 
imported a project that I was working on, it excluded all of my overloaded 
operators.  I thought that was a bit odd.

Another thing is that the UML handbook seems to be missing from my install.  
When I go to help->Umbrello UML handbook, it just brings up the generic KDE 
help.  I'm sure that I neglected something when I installed, but I can't 
figure out what it is.

Finally, a suggestion:  it would be really nice if when Umbrello imported 
classes, it could parse the file for Javadoc/Doxygen style comments and put 
them in the UML attributes as comments for the functions and datatypes.  This 
would probably be a bit much work for the number of developers involved here, 
but if anyone gets the time it would be really neat.  I might have a look 
myself if I get the time... 

Anyhow, just some comments.  It looks like a great program, from what little 
I've seen so far.
