-UMLGraph - Declarative Drawing of UML Diagrams
-
-UMLGraph allows the declarative specification and drawing of
-UML class and sequence diagrams.  You can browse the system's
-documentation from the doc/index.html page, or print it from
-doc/indexw.html.
-
-To install the elements required to run UMLGraph, simply copy
-the contents of the lib directory to a location consistent with
-your installation's conventions (for example to /usr/local/lib).
-
-To compile the Java doclet from the source code run ant on the
-build.xml file.
-
-If you change the source code, you can run regression tests by
-executing "ant test".
