[Uml-devel] Sharing designs, Folders, 3rd Party imports

[Larry Weisberg]

Can someone give me some recommendations on how to handle the following workflow? 

I would like to be able to: 


*	Share designs or parts of designs.  One case is where Designer1 designs some functionality based on a set of classes, including Class Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams and State Diagrams.  Somebody else (Designer2) then gets ready to design another feature, largely based on my design.  If Designer1 wishes to "share" his entire design, he can save the whole project.  However, 


*	Q - If Designer1 wants to share part of it (e.g., something within one Folder), is there a way to do this? 

*	Q - Other than copying the entire Designer1's .XML project, and then making changes directly to the new project, is there a way for Designer2 to "import" the Design1 into a Folder (maybe as read only so that he doesn't change it by accident) and then "Use" it? 

*	Another case, is where a team uses some 3rd party class library (in our case, ACE).  Same thing here - I'd like to build the list of classes from ACE once, and then let other designers use it.  Any recommendations? 


I tried to select a group of ACE .h files and do an import, and Umbrello crashed.  One or 2 at a time, seemed ok, but a bit painful.  (If I can find a single class that caused the crash, I'll send a bug report.)  In the meantime, is there anyone out there who has built an ACE project, and would like to share it with me and others?  Are there other prepared projects out there like STL, etc.?

Thanks, 
Larry
