For building umbrello  from source see
http://umbrello.kde.org/installation.php.
To get a debug build you may add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to the line
running cmake as shown below.

cmake  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/umbrello ../

> I usually use Eclipse for Java
You may find informations to use eclipse for umbrello compiling at
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake:Eclipse_UNIX_Tutorial

> and Emacs for Ruby, in case there is specific information for one of them.
you may find cmake informations for emacs at
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Editors/Emacs


I am personally are using QtCreator on linux on a daily base and find it
very easy and usefull. After installing QtCreator you have to
1. follow the building from source hints on
http://umbrello.kde.org/installation.php
2. open the CMakeLists.txt file with qtcreator
3. select the build directory mentioned in 1
4. run configure and
5. start compiling and debugging.
