Re: Sequence diagram takes too much vertical space

I am really pleased that over the past 3 or so years, ArgoUML has gone 
from marginally useful to a really nice modelling tool that is fairly 
easy to use and pretty robust.

I am not an intensive user past the functional spec stage.

My biggest wish is for some capability to record information in the 
model and actually be able to show it to the client.
A MS-Word or OpenOffice document or presentation with the drawing and 
the associated information would be nice.
An HTML version of the model that would allow the users to view the 
model with its textual information would help.
The ability to select the features to extract would be good. Most of the 
time, I am dealing with non-technical managers and they could not care 
less about the programming details but would like to see my definition 
of an Actor or my Description of a Use Case, etc.

Reports:
A report of Actors, listing all the Actors with their properties
A report of Use Cases listing all of the Use Cases with their properties
Reports of individual diagrams

An export of a class diagram to a Hibernate mapping file is a nice 
little project that would give automatic generation of persistence 
schemas (SQL DDL)  as well as POJO code for the classes through Hibernate.

Just some thoughts
