[kepler-dev] charter for architecture project

[Aaron Schultz]

Hi Tim,

Looks good on the charter.  I've spent a little time looking at UML 
diagramming.  I tried Papyrus with Eclipse and Netbeans UML 
diagramming.  Netbeans UML is definitely way ahead and I think it would 
make a good common tool for us on any UML work that we end up doing.  It 
does reverse engineering of existing code and can generate code from 
models as well.

I've attached a quick use case diagram and a component diagram that 
includes some more detail about the solution that I have been 
exploring.  Also, the Netbeans UML project used to create those images.  
I've also attached an updated presentation as background for everyone.  
My thinking on how to handle the build system has changed substantially 
- see slide 7.  Hopefully David and others on the list will have some 
feedback on this.

Aaron
