I have been using argoUML quite a little bit. There is a pretty good
PHP5-source-generator available as plugin. Currently it just has
problems with typehints, which are not generated correctly [1].

The maintainer of the PHP-Coder-generator plugin seems to have vanished
however. I haven't found the time yet to look into that issue. Maybe
it's an easy job for you? ;)

Since I found modelling UML quite a bit ineffective in most UML-Tools I
decided to use well documented source-files as master and then rather
aim to get some Tool to generate .xmi (UML) from the source.

I must admit I don't like the idea of some Magic Draw specific format
too much. argoUML is already one of the most powerful UML
PHP-Code-geerators I would assume.

Looking forward to what you are cooking on.....

Cheers,
Peter
