ArgoEclipse is a free, open source, UML plugin for the Eclipse IDE. It is
also available as a standalone tool using the Eclipse RCP technology.
ArgoEclipse integrates core technology from the ArgoUML and Eclipse UML2
projects to provide a complete, end user UML modeling tool.
Google Summer of Code
ArgoEclipse has received received three years of great contributions from
students participating in the Google Summer of Code. We won't be participating
officially for the 2009 season, but we're still happy to mentor students
interested in learning about open source and Eclipse.
Please visit our wiki
for ideas on potential projects and information on the application process.
Here's a list of the successful projects and applicants from previous years:

Mission
The goal of the project is to provide seamless integration
between the UML functionality provided by the core ArgoUML project and
the Eclipse IDE.
The focus of this project is on the integration pieces only. All
of the core functionality is provided by either Eclipse or ArgoUML. We
just provide the glue.
The plugin is written in 100% Java and uses the native ArgoUML
Swing UI components for most of its GUI, rather than the Eclipse SWT
components. Source code management is done using SVN.
