I'm not sure what you mean by "original" in this context. The Java code isn't generated from a UML model if that's what you are thinking (except for Java implementation of the UML 1.4 metamodel). There is a very, VERY high level view of the major subsystems drawn as a UML diagram in section 4 of the Developer's Cookbook at http://argouml-stats.tigris.org/documentation/defaulthtml/cookbook/ (ignore the "-stats" suffix, it's actually part of the ArgoUML project). The other possibility that I'm aware of would be to reverse engineer the model from either the jars (using the classfile plugin module) or from Java sources. I'm not sure whether anyone has tried this recently, so I don't know whether it gives a reasonable result. There's what appears to be an earlier attempt at this located at http://argouml.tigris.org/source/browse/*checkout*/argouml/documentation/coo kbook/cookbook.zargo but it's 4 1/2 years old, so obviously it will bear only a loose resemblance to the current reality.
