Get the trial download of rational rose and use it to generate the UML 
automatically from the source code. The result will not be ideal, but may help 
you get a feel for things.

Not sure whether rational has a linux version, but it seems to me they ought to.

Wish I could be more helpful, but after looking into UML for a while I lost 
interest. It's nice to have a development environment that will generate it 
automatically for you, and maybe people who are familiar enough with it get 
some benefit from it, but I don't feel it's very useful for the scale of 
project I'm interested in (smallish).

Anybody here know of a good tutorial or source of info on using UML? 
We've started using it here for our software projects, but I'm just not 
getting it.  I'm trying to put together a class diagram for a system we 
already have, but keep getting lost in what all the UML lingo means.


I've got a class called Ipengine.  I have two subclasses of Ipengine, 
ClockerIpengine and PixelIpengine.  All three contain instances of the 
class Command and the class CommandResponse.  Does that imply an 
agregation style relationship between the Command* classes and the 
*Ipengine classes?  Where do you find stuff like this out?
