It sounds like there are a handful of things that could be useful tasks to
undertake as part of GSoC:

- Improve the existing integration between ArgoUMLs Swing user interface,
and Eclipse workbench. There are a few tips in this Eclipse Corner Artcile
that could be incorporated pretty quickly:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Swing-SWT-Integration/index.html

- Begin rewriting some of the ArgoUML dialogs in SWT

- Tie ArgoUMLs editors to built in Eclipse functionality (global actions,
jobs, etc)

- Begin writing an ArgoUML editor based on GMF or GEF (though if its true
that Tigris GEF is assumed in many places this may be pretty difficult)

- Begin to create extension points for well defined systems: Models,
Modules, Code Generators, Reverse Engineering, etc...

- Examine EMFs reverse engineering capabilities


Of course not all of these could be completed within the GSoC timeframe.
I've got some experience with Eclipse RCP, Extension Registry, Eclipse GEF,
SWT,  etc so I think these are all realistic tasks for me.

What would be of most use to ArgoUML?
