ArgoUML history The Cookbook for Developers of ArgoUML documents of the insides of ArgoUML. Among other things it includes how to Checkout and Build your development copy (Chapter 2), and details of the planned subsystems (chapter 4) and their insides (chapter 5).	Goals The goal of the ArgoUML project is to build an object oriented design tool that is: a joy to use actually helpful to designers when they are making design decisions, by offering cognitive support through critics completely open source Java (FreeBSD license) supporting everything in UML modular and extensible integrated with the web and other Tigris tools. You can also read the Project Vision and read the list of features to learn more about what ArgoUML is capable of already.

Academic papers and research projects List of all Academic papers and magazine articles of tools and methods developed with ArgoUML. Jason Robbins dissertation about ArgoUML. This dissertation created the fundamental layer for ArgoUML. It is still a good read to get an understanding of the essential designs of ArgoUML. Tiziana Allegrinis dissertation (in PDF) contains an overview over the architecture of ArgoUML and deals with generating code from state chart diagrams.	Refactorit As of October 2002 developers of ArgoUML can use RefactorIT, a Java based tool to assist in refactoring and code analysis. Just register, download and request the Open Source license, which allows you to work with a number of Open Source projects and up to 50 of your own classes, which would even allow you to work on smaller modules outside the ArgoUML name-space. Thanks to RefactorIT for their support.
