After I created created my diagrams and fleshed out the methods I will 
create the main application program.
Now, I would like my main program to have the look-and-feel of Umbrello 
(A listview on the left, a documentation
pane on botton left and a "frame" for other windows on right).
My listview will hold instances of my objects (rockets, pumps, chambers, 
etc ). Each object will have values for
the attributes. Since the classes were created with the Umbrello 
aplication, the corresponding xmi file knows the names
of all the object attributes, therefore I could populated the list view 
directly from the .xmi umbrello file.
Also umbrello knows how to notify changes to these attributes and give 
them persistency. I would factor this
functionality from the Umbrello code into my application so that I could 
save the status of project and
work on it later.
Would use the same procedure to populate a menubar with method calls for 
my objects.
