Re: Merge argouml project files?

I didn't mention it the first time, but since it's appeared again,
your .sig is inappropriate on two counts: 1) it was longer than your
query and 2) it's religious in nature.  Let's save the religious (and
political) stuff for appropriate forums.

A .zargo is actually a zip/jar archive containing a set of .argo,
.todo, .xmi, and .pgml files.  Unzip the two projects and apply the
edits to the text files.  The .argo contains a list of the other files
and some settings.  Edit the target .argo and add references to the
.pgml files from the source project. The .todo can probably be
ignored.  Copy the source .pgml files to the target directory.  Edit
the target .xmi file so that instead of

...
<UML:Model>
  <UML:Namespace.ownedElements>
     target contents
  </UML:Namespace.ownedElements>
</UML:Model>
...

it contains

...
<UML:Model>
  <UML:Namespace.ownedElements>
     target contents
     source contents
  </UML:Namespace.ownedElements>
</UML:Model>
...
