Thanks for fixing it Michiel. With a near stable release soon, I expected to avoid this kind of problems, and letting the modules work as them worked before. Anyway, I feel that this is a defered issue, and we should provide an API independent of the order of initialization. I think that we should work on solving this as soon as the stable release is done, so modules are independent ones from anothers. Someone asked in a previous thread what are the values of ArgoUML. I have been monitoring some forums, and many of them mentioned that ArgoUML has code generation for a lot of languages. Maybe one of the values are the possibility of writing modules, for code generation or anything else, so we should make an effort for provide them a clear, easy and functional API. I hope that, once the release is done, we should discuss a way of reaching this goal through a good design (maybe the discussion could start before).
