Just the core parts. There are a few nice Java libraries with few
system dependancies. The Novosoft XMI engine might be interesting to
link in.

The GJC provides some interesting wrapper tools for calling c from java
and java from c. Worth looking into!

Or the Argo developers. One reason why I like dia over argo is that it
is fast. Argo is a pig (But a sweet one, mmmmh : ham sandwiches come to
mind)

The kvivio is an insult to free software, never have I felt so insulted
by a piece of software, before. Never have I downloaded such a
shameless plug to make money. 

If I ever find the time, I am going to write lots of hatemail about
this crippled software. 

I installed the debian package, tried to create an UML diagram, and was
told to Buy stencils from them, they did not even provide good samples.
What a waste of time!

Sketch on the other hand is nice, but also a bit slower than Dia. 
I would not mind working with them, but the Kompany will get no support
from me.

Why not put the dia link in the mailman, that way it shows up on every
single mail?

my 2 cents,
