[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?
