Re: Re: DBUML module startup issue (was Installation stalls on OS X 10.4.10)

Hello Tom

This bug isn't only with dbuml-complete-1.0.2, as well as 
dbuml-complete-1.0.1, but with ArgoUML-0.24 too.
The only thing I could launch was the Mac OS compiled release 
ArgoUML-0.24.app.

When I'm programming I constantly worry about that point: what if the 
procedure doesn't go through? Very difficult to address.
