[Uml-devel] umbrello re-design

[Andrew Sutton]

well, as i've been saying, i've been slowly mulling this stuff over in my head 
and actually took the chance to write a fair bit of it down in visio. i've 
put a link to it on my incredibly good web page at kent. it's a pdf document.

http://trident.mcs.kent.edu/~asutton/

there are some known problems
	1. its far from finished
	2. the MOFB (MOF_bootstrap) library is pretty incomplete
	3. there will probably be additions to the reflective interfaces
	4. there's no saving code yet
	5. there's no code generation yet.

actually, 4 and 5 are probably closely releated. in each, we iterate over the 
objects contained in a package (OR model :) and do stuff to them. for saving 
we output xml, for codegen, we output src. i think the pattern will be the 
same.

as of some discussion earlier, i'm also starting to think i overdesigned the 
treewalking stuff. i'm starting to see a way to make it much lighter but 
still just as capable. maybe.

i'd like to know what people think. what's right, what's wrong, what's 
confusing. let me know.
