3.1. General Questions |
| Q: | Is there a manual? |
| A: | Yes, check out: Argo\Argouml\documentation\manual |
| Q: | What is Java Web Start? |
| A: | JWS = Java Web Start, some Sun technology which allows you start Java Applications via the web. You can start ArgoUML as well as Poseidon for UML Community Edition from www.Argouml.org and www.gentleware, respectively. Just click on the provided link (after installing JWS). |
| Q: | Where do I get the code for ArgoUML? |
| A: | You can download the latest release of Argo in source from www.Argouml.org. The server is the same as for ArgoUML. I personally prefer NetBeans 3.3 (with the XML module) it has a very easy to use CVS connection wizard that makes life easy. Be aware that if you have something to contribute in terms of code but you can't be bothered to figure out the CVS send your contribution directly to one of the lead developers and they can load it into the CVS for you! |
| Q: | Is there commercial support for Argo? |
| A: | Yes there is, Gentleware.com provides enhanced versions of Argo as well as support. It was founded by some to the core developers of ArgoUML. See http://www.gentleware.com. |
| Q: | When I click on help I get sent to a server for example: http://ics.uci.edu/pub/arch/uml/critics/CrMultipleAgg.html But there isn't an ics.uci.edu server...Where can I get the help files? |
| A: | We're working on it...hopefully we'll be able to get the help files onto the Argo site...or at least under the Help window in Argo itself! Check the documentation links at www.argouml.org. You'll find a lot of very good docs on how to get working in Argo. Feel free to contribute by modeling the help interface and the related classes! A really cool thing would allow the users to enter their own help text and so that it can be uploaded to CVS and used by others! |
