This is already a better name for UML2MMBase. UML2MMBase is not like all the
other applications in the applications module. The applications module
consists of files which add extra functionality to an MMBase web application
and that is not what UML2MMBase does. IOW the current applications module
consists of extensions to MMBase and UML2MMBase does not belong to that
category.

Tools like UML2MMBase require their own CVS module so they are not tied into
one of the versions of MMBase. They should handle different versions of
MMBase in their own way.
Another difference between tools and the applications is that they don't
have to depend on the core code of MMBase. The tool developers don't need
write-access to the source code of MMBase to develop the tool.

IMO, sourceforge is a good alternative as long as there is no way for tool
developers to use the MMBase cvs without committer status.
