Hi Brian,

yes I can. My wish list:

implements does not work properly: When I design an interface and a 
realisation, first I get one
   public String function implements functionconcept () {
but later ,  I can't say exactly when it happens (perhaps when I use the 
code viewer),  the implements not appears on code generation.

Keyword extends works.
Jonathan Riddel tells:
Add a class to a diagram and put an Implements association between them.

I missed import. Someone (I don't find that email again) means: UML have 
no support for import, but to use a stereotype will be possible.
But this is for later version.


It will be fine to have header-files for each *.java-file. At the 
moment  only header.java is allowed. So I added special things like a 
comment.
This wish to have additional possibilities results from the task to 
include some special things like to integrate ozone database. But it 
will be possible to do these specials  not directly with umbrello.

One bug I reported was, Java interfaces have no body, but umbrello 
generates one.
So the interface should only contain the signatures of the operations?
Something like that:
   abstract public interface Neue_schnittstelle {
    public void neue_operation ( );
   }
Sebastian Stein has make an bug report.

Oh, I beleave that was all. It isn't much. We just starts up with MDA 
and at the moment we are training level.
Now I become worm with umbrello. I think we can publish some  (very) 
simple example created with umbrello next week.

Greeting
Harald
