Hi Tom,

Thank you for your information. I guess I was not
precise when explaining the "original" design
documents.

Actually the class diagrams are valuable as long as
they can truly reflect the implementation, no matter
whether they are created using reverse-engineering or
forward engineering approach. Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers,

John

I'm pretty sure no such thing exists, but perhaps one of the developers who
has been around longer can confirm.

There are two things that might provide a useful approximation of this:

1. The 1999 PhD thesis of the original author describing his perceptions of
(or at least how he wanted his PhD advisor to perceive) what he built. It
has UML diagrams for selected pieces of ArgoUML, mainly the design advisors
("critics") and the graphics subsystem.
http://argouml.tigris.org/docs/robbins_dissertation/

2. A 2001/2002 dissertation by Tiziana Allegrini which contains an overview
of ArgoUML at the time including UML diagrams apparently drawn with ArgoUML.
We have the PDF at
http://argouml.tigris.org/docs/allegrini_dissertation/tesi_en.pdf but I
don't think we have the ArgoUML project for the diagrams.

Any design information that is available should be linked to from the
developers' page at http://argouml.tigris.org/dev.html although much of it
hasn't been updated in years.

Tom
