Other than the tools that come with Eclipse/STS, we only have 1 other
plug-in.
http://wireframesketcher.com/blog describes Wireframesketcher which is a
nice tool for designing user interfaces. Not free.
We use ArgoUML for our UML modelling. We have not really looked at the
Eclipse tools.

You might find that the Eclipse STS from http://spring.io/tools is a

people.
It knows how to add Subversive which makes it easy to get started quickly.
We moved from Eclipse to Eclipse/STS several years ago when we found that
we were losing days to fix up each new version of Eclipse and had a lot of
trouble in a small shop trying to develop software development processes
when each person was using a different set of plug-ins.
Eclipse STS solved all of that and made installing a new version of
Eclipse a 15 minute process instead of days of screwing about with plug-ins.
Install Eclipse/STS, add Subversive using the links on the dashboard and
get back to productive work.

Thanks Ron,
That is helpful. I take it that it needs no installation per se, but just
to run the STS executable in the sts-bundle directory. Right? It does
give me an error, though, saying that Plug-in
"org.springsource.ide.eclipse.commons.gettingstarted" was unable to
instantiate class
"org.springsource.ide.eclipse.commons.gettingstarted.dashboard.WelcomeDashboard"
Looking at the trace, it seems it can't find one or more class definitions.
Is that something to worry about?
I would also ask where I would find Subversiv, as I do not see it among the
software items in the install software dialog. Do I have to add another
repository, or am I looking in the wrong place?
I did find a lot of documentation that I plan on working through, but I did
not find an installation guide.
And, I would ask you about other software I can install using that dialog:
what you'd recommend, and what you think of the modelling tools and their
potential for producing up to date UML diagrams (especially use case and
E-R diagrams) for the latest version OFBiz.
Thanks
Ted
