Yes, the Tools menu is intentionally empty - it can be filled by

Admittingly, from usability point of view, this is not a sound
situation - there must be a better way.
I have a suggestion regarding this.
I've always thought that the best way to deal with plug-ins / modules /
add-ons is something like the GUIs for tools like fink and apt. It's
been a little while since I poked around on Ubuntu, but IIRC there's a
pretty good interface that either is, or is functionally equivalent, to apt.
So, why not have something under tools that opens a dialog similar to
this? It could be populated with the mature sub-projects of ArgoUML.
And what the hay--since this program's users are also developers, a
category for the immature sub-projects might be warranted too. In my
ideal conception, these plug-ins could be disabled after installation
(like Firefox add-ons), as well as uninstalled completely if desired.
But what would be really cool is the ability to receive up-to-date lists
of plug-ins and browse them for pick-and-choose functionality without
having to go to the website.
I feel rather strongly about this UI; I hate going to websites for
plug-ins and add-ons, even Mozilla's. Whatever that UI was in Ubuntu,
it was a DREAM. :)
Anyone else think this might be viable for ArgoUML?
