+<h3>ArgoEclipse project</h3>
+
+<p style="font-weight: bold">Description:</p>
+<p>
+<a href="http://argoeclipse.tigris.org/">ArgoEclipse</a> is a project that integrates ArgoUML within the
+<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/">Eclipse IDE</a>.
+ArgoUML's main panels (implemented in Swing): the explorer pane (top left), the diagram pane (top right),
+the to do list pane (bottom left) and the properties pane (bottom right) are integrated in Eclipse's 
+<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/swt/">Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT)</a> and included in the Eclipse views, editors and dialogs
+using the <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/awt/SWT_AWT.html">SWT_AWT</a>
+bridge (that makes possible Swing integration into SWT).
+<br/>
+The Eclipse IDE can host ArgoEclipse as its plugin along with other plugins, but ArgoEclipse can also be used as a standalone 
+<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Rich_Client_Platform">Rich Client Product (RCP)</a> application.
+<br/>
+ArgoEclipse uses mainly ArgoUML's Swing code as is and sparsely reimplements some Swing dialogs using SWT.
+
+<p style="font-weight: bold">Improvement suggestions:</p>
+<p>
+The suggestions marked with (*) are harder to accomplish.
+<ul>
+<li>Reimplement the Swing dialog windows from ArgoUML using SWT/JFace</li>
+<li>Extend the org.eclipse.ui.PreferencesPages extension point and reimplement ArgoUML's settings</li>
+<li>Headless build for the plugin and the RCP application using <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/automation.html">PDE tools</a></li>
+<li>Reimplement the explorer, todo and properties panes of ArgoUML in SWT/JFace or/and redesign their appearence</li>
+<li>Add the ability to parse Eclipse Java projects and generate a UML model in ArgoEclipse
+(ArgoUML is able to parse Java files from a filesystem location)</li>
+<li>Hook the editors/views to the standard global actions (print, delete, select all, undo, redo, etc)</li>
+<li>Add action bar contributions when the editor is opened: menu contributions, coolbar contributions with ArgoUML's actions
+that should be available in that context</li>
+<li>(*) Add support for the ability to drag UML elements from the explorer pane and drop them on the diagram editor</li>
+<li>(*) Use the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/gef/">Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework (GEF)</a>
+to start the reimplementation of the diagram editor</li>
+<li>(*) Implement the support for multiple diagram editors</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p style="font-weight: bold">Requirements:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Basic UML knowledge</li>
+<li>Java SE</li>
+<li>Eclipse Plugin Development Environment (PDE)</li>
+<li>Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) / JFace</li>
+<li>Apache Ant scripts (this is required only if you want to include the headless build suggestion)</li>
+<li>Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) (this is required only if you want to include the reimplementation of the diagram editor with GEF suggestion)</li>
+</ul>
