currently nobody is working on Umbrello in this area.

With C++ and Java Code generators you can fill in method bodies before
generating code, but you can't import method bodies so syncing to
files on disk is not possible.

It would basicly require major work to make a code import framework
that can import bodies and to make code importers for all the various
languages.  It should be possible to reuse what KDevelop already have
but so far there's not been an obvious "correct" way to do it.
