Hi!

I am using ArgoUML in several projects and find that the 0.24 version is
fairly stable on my Windows XP system running java 1.5 . With simple class
diagrams I have never experienced problems.

Good practice is to save often :-)

Subject: [argouml-users] Is ArgoUML stable enough for student use?

Hi All,

I am teaching an intro software engineering class and have been  
promoting use of ArgoUML. My students are really learning the basics  
of UML diagramming (not code-generation to/from UML) in addition to  
software process, etc..

My question is do you feel the product is stable enough to have them  
use? Many have reported crashing and difficulty using it during their  
first assignment a simple class diagram. I have seen an issue or two  
also and wonder what the feeling is from people who have used it a  
lot? I'm trying to get the students excited about UML and modeling  
and don't want the tool to be the hard part. I'm sure they run a  
variety of operating systems and have a variety of memory/cpu  
configurations.

I see the benefit of open source as them being able to use this at  
work after this class ends without a big cost associated with it (and  
I tend to favor open source tools because I like the open source  
model anyway :-)

Just thought I'd take a poll if people have opinions on using this at  
the under-grad level in a University. If so, what kinds of problems  
should I expect and be able to deal with? (Printing seems to be one.)  
Should I be using the latest dev build or the stable build?

Thanks,
Dan Fleck
