[Uml-devel] UML Future

[P. Fleury]

Hi Paul,

I really would like it to have a KDE version. Just leaving the door open 
if somebody wants to integrate it into KDevelop one day...
If you think of redesigning it, and use a cross-platform GUI/toolkit, do 
you think a step further could be achieved: have a GUI part, and a 
UML-core part ? So that only the GUI is platform dependent code (maybe).
The LyX project (www.lyx.org) is in the process of making this kind 
split, so that they can support GTK, Qt/KDE and the original xforms. GTK 
works fine for Windows, as I use Gimp on my WinME and Win2k boxes. For 
more info, look at the Gimp wesite, for "Gimp on Windows".

It the license really so extensive ? The *use* of a freeware based on Qt 
forces you to buy it ? I can use Kword for my commercial documents, 
can't I ? (surely you moticed, I am no licence expert...)

Also, in case of using Java, you will face comments from Argo/UML 
(argouml.tigris.org), which is an open-source UML editor entirely 
written in Java.

Just my 2yen thoughts...
