I agree with Michiel and Bob in terms of release 1.0 with UML 1.4 and version 2.0 with UML 2.0 capabilities. However, there are a number of fit and polish and usability issues that it would be good to deal with before a 1.0 release.
- We definitely need more modern icons. The current Swing L&F icons make the software look pretty dated, and I don't think that's what we want to communicate in a 1.0 release. - There's also an issue around the representation of generics in collections like Maps, and in more complex "collections of collections". http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6211 - The code generation templates can generate some strange artifacts in the code. - [C# code templates] http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5916 - [Java code templates] http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6239 - Users don't currently have a way of creating code using a customized template, this means that they can generate code that doesn't meet their own coding standards. This results in more work for the user, and kinda defeats the purpose of code generation. - It would be good to have some profiles with stereotypes to support web application development. - Support diagram-level comments (assuming the UML standards support this). Most of these are out of my own personal wishlist, and I don't think they are necessarily tasks that are particularly onerous to do and could probably be accomplished within a weekend. It might be worth everyone going through their own wishlist and identifying which tasks are relatively short, and provide the most user benefit.
