Would it help if toolbar and swidgets were brought into core argouml? I had been considering that anyway.
GEF I think should still remain separate but if that was mavenized would that help? What about subprojects like csharp etc that I think still have their own svn. Would these be better brought into the main svn repository for argouml? I think that would also be a good move anyway. I'd agree that Maven should not be a major target now but I see no reason not to do some small changes that might move us in that direction in future and improve things anyway.
