Hello Zoran!
If you are looking at tools for chat, messaging, etc. that is not very
tightly connected to the UML model, then you should probably examine
ArgoEclipse and think Eclipse RCP thoughts. In the Eclipse framework such
things may already exist and your addition would then be reduced to doing
integration between the ArgoUML part and the
whatever-application-that-already-exist-and-that-you-want-part.
