UML diagrams certainly would be nice, but I'm a bit wary about creating yet another tool dependency.
I gather that all the tools you mentioned are commercial. Even if we got a free license for the UML tool, there would still be the issue of integrating the tool into JIRA and/or Confluence. OPS4J is running on a SaaS program from Atlassian called JIRA Studio which is slowly degrading to a degree that I've started thinking about alternatives. (Keywords: Github links broken, no upgrade path from JIRA Studio to JIRA OnDemand without breaking URLs, OnDemand with Confluence 5 - the world's only Wiki without Wiki markup, and no control over the plugins you install in your instance). So it might in fact be better to work with an offline UML tool, commit the diagram sources to Github and simply upload images to Confluence or any other documentation system. Actually, I think drawing a diagram on a whiteboard and taking a photo is usually the most efficient way of creating a UML diagram. At least compared to the UML tools I've worked with in the past which are terribly unintuitive and enormous time eaters (Together, Enterprise Architect, Magic Draw, Visual Paradigm).
