I've now added the activity2 project to the main argouml PSF Running the UML2 launcher "ArgoUML UML2-EUML debug" will automatically replace the UML1.4 activity diagram with this one.
Take a look folks and see what you think. Give it a test, raise issues etc. Creating the Activity Diagram will create an Activity object and set that as the diagram owner. All elements then created in that diagram are part of that Activity. Sorry I haven't got any icons for the toolbar yet but hovering over the blank area of the toolbar will show the tooltip. There are various Action nodes available - these are actually all the same Fig. There are also tools for ControlFlow and ObjectFlow although the latter is not much use yet without any ObjectNodes or Pins as yet. I'm leaving notation for the moment but will come back to that later. On the whole the diagram is pretty simple so far. The things I need to think about is how to represent the activity itself. UML2 has this shown as a background to the whole diagram and there should be options for being able to add input and output parameter nodes to this. The other difference with other current diagrams are pins. These are nodes that must stick to the edge of an Action node so Ill need some new drag mechanism to allow draging them to any place on their parent nodes perimeter but not away from that node. I'm certainly no expert in this area having never used this diagram type myself. I'm just teaching myself as I go along. Some input would be useful from anyone more familiar to confirm I'm moving along the right lines.
