    Try PoseidonUML (http://www.gentleware.com/products/) - a commercialized
    spinoff from ArgoUML. Much better, many nifty features. Slow & bloated,

    I read 'somewhere' that the whole Rational integration is just a black
    blox slapped on via some connector. They certainly won't rewrite the
    entire Rose engine in Java.
