Could you please explain what you mean by "meta-programming"? > I haven't tried, but would be happy if > this was demonstrated to be wrong. In most cases, UML diagrams could help to communicate new developments design, explain *quickly* the dependencies between packages, classes and interfaces, show the logic of an algorithm... Moreover, the fact that UML is a graphical language reduces the explanation of a complex algorithm for example: - http://www.visualuml.com/Sample%20Diagrams/Fig%209-1%20Activity%20Diagram.jpg - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/f_and_m/html/vxfm7_topleveldiagram.gif - http://www.smartdraw.com/resources/centers/flowcharts/images/flowchart_deployment_example.gif > > > > -4- Perhaps some Together project files could be > > added? > > Who is going to keep them in sync?

When a development is done, javadoc should be synchronized with it, UML diagrams should be synchronized the same way. The main problem is how can developers update UML diagrams?

But they only are useful to those who can use them with the right tool. I think an image format could be used too for those who don't have such tool.
