So I just finished installing Vista on my work laptop (mostly so I could see the improvements Eclipse made for Vista support) and I have to say I'm really impressed with both. First, there are tons of new things in M5, like the new forms, splash, etc, that are really nice. As for Vista - it installed in about 30 minutes with no problems and all my programs, shortcuts still work. I'm still checking the performance, but so far, I haven't noticed any problems.

Finally - A Great UML Tool
Over the course of my career, I have tried to use UML several times. The one problem I kept having was that the tools did more to get in my way than ease documentation and development. Since starting a new job with a bigger team, I started feeling [again] that UML would really ease the development of the new products.
Since I work for a small startup - I evaluated all of the OSS tools I could find. I ended up with all of the old problems. Then, I was taking a look at the latest edition of my favorite java book and the author mentions this one. I have been trying it on an eval basis and so far, I'm really impressed. Now if I can only get the budget for some licenses...
About
Since I've been using Eclipse for a good while now to develop software products, I decided that its time I had some space to keep track of stuff I want to remember. If anyone else reads this and it causes some healthy debate, that will definitely be a great side benefit. If that happens once I get some useful material here, I may ask to be added to the roll over at Planet Eclipse.
