Hi,
I thought I would try adding an editor for the custom tagged values
then a 'save as' or 'export' option.
I have considered adding the cayenne.xml and the datanode.driver.xml content
as tagged values on the model object at the root of the model object
hierarchy,
then the whole cayenne model could be generated.
Next would be code generation for cayenne java source
The final 'really cool' feature would be to add a new diagram type
with a class view (pure UML) and a schema view.
Further downstream, it might be possible to use the .zargo file as the
model and perform the cayenne xml transformation at runtime.
There are some issues with ArgoUML:
1. Metal look & feel is hard-coded
- it looks like this is an issue that is being addressed.
2. Documentation on writing modules is very thin
- there is an active developer mailing list.
3. Some bugs
- when I chose BigDecimal as the type for estimatedPrice in Painting
the BigDecimal class provided was not in a package. I had to create
my own java.math.BigDecimal in the model. This may be fixed, I need
to check the lists.
Apart from these I had no problem using ArgoUML for this class diagram.
I also found a very preliminary Eclipse plugin for ArgoUML which was able to
display
the model, but not edit it.

Very interesting. Are you planning to continue with this project? Keep us
posted.
