Looking back at the issue, I guess the problem is the class path.

Because of how gef works (names/maps of classes instead of factories), it is not 
possible to load diagram objects that are not on the class path. If you build 
the core argouml (
  svn co http://argouml.tigris.org/svn/argouml/trunk argouml
  ( cd argouml && ./build.sh install )
) and all the modules you want (
  for m in LIST_OF_MODULES
  do
    svn co http://$m.tigris.org/svn/$m/trunk $m
    ( cd $m && ant install )
  done
) you end up with a file build/argouml.jar and the modules in 
build/ext/whatever.jar (not mentioning a lot of supporting jars). The file 
build/argouml.jar then has a class path that does not include the jars for the 
modules.

The feature that we have implemented to solve this is a special build target 
that adds all modules' jars to the class path in argouml.jar. Run this feature 
with:
  ( cd argouml && ./build.sh update-argouml.jar-manifest )

After that you can start with
  java -jar argouml.jar
to get an argouml that is started with all modules on the class path.

The reason it works in Eclipse has everything on the class path when the project 
is started.
