Where is the latest and greatest graph code? Is Maven not using commons-graph anymore? > If you are up for reworking graph with the latest > nsuml, go for it! I've been looking at it, but the lack of documentation, examples, etc. for NSUML is very frustrating. I think I see why the HEAD version is so hard to work with. Read this post from the lead NSUML developer that I found on the argoUML list: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Constantine Plotnikov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 10:31 AM Subject: [argouml-dev] On status of NSUML and NSMDF > Hi! > > NSUML and NSMDF are currently in the very deep hibernation > with a little hope of unfreezing due lack of demand backed > by money and lack of active projects at novosoft that use > that set of technologies right now.

Typical semi-corporate SourceForge project, works great until the company gets tired of it. I've been reading the list, and it sounds like the version you're using is actually more feature-rich than the 1_3 version, and the NSUML claim that 0.4.20 is outdated was just wishful thinking on the devlopers' part. Blech, I don't know what the best approach is. I think this may actually be one of those instances where GUMP should not point to the HEAD version, since it's both incomplete and frozen. Any GUMP people about? I think the REAL solution is to take Constantine's advice and eventually use an active API. If no responses are forthcoming here, I'm going to forward this to the GUMP list and recommend that they not build NSUML from HEAD. We'll see what they have to say. I'd really like to get graph building in GUMP; it's currently the only dependency that preventing the possibility of Maven nightly builds. I would love to have GUMP do the work, rather than have to bootstrap all the time. - Morgan ===== Morgan Delagrange http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs http://jakarta.apache.org/commons http://axion.tigris.org http://jakarta.apache.org/watchdog __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
