We have two competing proposals on Umbrello's future:

1. Replace Umbrello's document classes by the KDevelop CodeModel
 This is motivated by what Jonathan writes: If we want to reuse KDevelop's
 parsers then that ties us to the CodeModel.

2. Replace Umbrello's document classes by Andrew Sutton's OMF2 framework,
 http://www.sdml.info/projects/omf
 This is desirable for bringing Umbrello in line with UML 2.0.

Option 1 is the way to go if we want to make Umbrello more
"code centric" (e.g., roundtrip engineering) while option 2 is
clearly the way to go for the model centric improvements.

Actually there is also a third option: Put the OMF2 at the heart
of Umbrello and make a bridge to the CodeModel, i.e. use the CodeModel
only for the code import. (Might be difficult.)

Roberto, what are your plans for KDevelop-4?
Would you consider putting the OMF2 at its heart?
