[all variants] ArgoUML

[faldore]

Does anyone know why there is no package for ArgoUML? Were there some politicks or something? (I'm curious) I see that debian had the source at some point, then got rid of it, and it never graduated past unstable.

But ArgoUML is way better than Umbrello. (and Dia does not compete on UML really)

Since there's no package I am forced to run it from a java webstart link.

The problem with running it from a java webstart link, is that I don't get file associations. (you can't pass arguments to a webstart application) So, I can't double-click my .zargo and have it open in ArgoUML, as I would be able to if there were a package for it.

FYI, One thing about ArgoUML - you have to install the 32-bit Java, because it doesn't work on 64-bit. (Weird..)

So the command line for running it is:

/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun/bin/javaws http://argouml-downloads.tigris.org/jws/argouml-0.26.2.jnlp

Anyway, I ramble, my point is, I would like to get ArgoUML installed on my Ubuntu, as a full fledged application, with file associations and all. Despite the fact that there's no package for it. Anyone know how to do it?

try to compile it from this source: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/....6.orig.tar.gz

I saw there was Intrepid too, but same version of ArgoUML (0.19.6)

Well, it's Java, so there's no need to compile from source. Just download ArgoUML-0.28.tar.gz, decompress it into your ~/bin/ directory, and then create a symlink to argouml.sh in ~/bin/: '$ ln -s $HOME/bin/argouml-0.28/argouml.sh $HOME/bin/argouml'. Now, you will be able to run the app just by executing argouml.

This documentation provides explanations of how to add a mime type and an application association for the type.

Thank you for the tip.

I got it to work.

It's unfortunate that it was this difficult.

I haven't tried it, but there is a packaged version at

Hi everybody,
I have to use ArgoUML as part of a university course. I'm having some trouble installing the source code in Ubuntu 9.04.
This is what I've done so far:

1. downloaded the ArgoUML-0.28.1.tar.gz from their website in /home/pooja/
2. from terminal, untarrred the tarball file tar -zxvf ArgoUML-0.28.1.tar.gz
3. entered the directory created when extracting the tar.gz file
4. configure
5. make
6. make install

At this point the Terminal returns the following message:

Warning: tclStubInit.c may be out of date. Developers may want to run "make genstubs" to regenerate. This warning can be safely ignored, do not report as a bug! Installing libtcl8.4.so to /usr/local/lib/ cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/lib/#inst.26845#': Permission denied mv: cannot stat `/usr/local/lib/#inst.26845#': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access `/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.4.so': No such file or directory make: *** [install-binaries] Error 1 pooja@Ubuntu-LAPTOP:~/argouml-0.28.1$

What does it mean? Where am I going wrong? How do I actually run the program? Just type argouml in the Terminal doesn't work...help me please.

I tried typing sudo make install then giving in my password.
This time the system accepted the command and went on installing the executable. Still when I write $ argouml, it doesn't recognize the command.

This is what it gave back once I typed in my user password:

Installing libtcl8.4.so to /usr/local/lib/ Installing tclsh as /usr/local/bin/tclsh8.4 Installing tclConfig.sh to /usr/local/lib/ Installing libtclstub8.4.a to /usr/local/lib/ Making directory /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4 Making directory /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/http2.5 Making directory /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/http1.0 Making directory /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/opt0.4 Making directory /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/encoding Making directory /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/msgcat1.3 Making directory /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/tcltest2.2 Installing header files Installing library files to /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4 Installing library http1.0 directory Installing library http2.5 directory Installing library opt0.4 directory Installing library msgcat1.3 directory Installing library tcltest2.2 directory Installing library encoding directory Making directory /usr/local/share/man/man1 Making directory /usr/local/share/man/man3 Making directory /usr/local/share/man/mann Installing and cross-linking top-level (.1) docs Installing and cross-linking C API (.3) docs Installing and cross-linking command (.n) docs pooja@Ubuntu-LAPTOP:~/argouml-0.28.1$

So what do I do now to start the program?
