Maybe we could create a page in the wiki (children of https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/Apache+OFBiz+Contributors or directly a
section in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best+Practices) with Guidelines for graphics in the wiki?

That would be great.
I do not have write access to that part of the wiki but I could contribute some text and examples and links to the sites that I have found for Graphviz. It would be good to have some guidelines ( "Use the embedded Wiki tools such as Graphviz and Gliffy whenever possible." "when you create a grphic externally, add the source file to a child page as an attachment with the name of the tool and how the graphic can be regenerated." If you create Use Cases or other UML, add the model as a child page.") What are people using for UML? One can use Gliffy but it does not create a model so there is no repurposing or analysis possible from the effort of creating the drawing. I have only seen a few Use Case drawings in the wiki but I did not find the source model that was used to create the drawings or even a mention of the tool used and I did not check to see if they were in Gliffy or not. I use ArgoUML which is free and open source. It is pretty complete but like some other open source products, it lacks a bit of polish and the docs are spotty.

I believe most people use ArgoUML, at least I know the Neogia team did at some point They also mentioned their UFO tool http://www.neogia.org/wiki/index.php/U.F.O.

In the past I have often used the UML tools/solutions available as Eclipse
plugins. And I mainly used the use-case part for generating those diagrams. But without an export to .rtf such a tool is useless...

Unfortunately, ArgoUML only supports UML 1.4.

Of course and update would be welcome, but sincerely I don't think there is much important things missing in those graphics, at least nothing preventing me to work on custom projects. Apart some adding I can't quickly recall I have "recently" (more than 1 year ago) marginally updated the GeoPoint data model https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5453 Before the last change was r1222544 and it was 3+ year ago, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Revisions+Requiring+Data+Migration+-+upgrade+ofbiz That's why I don't think we are missing much there, did you note something specific?

Hi,
The ufo application read all entitymodel présent on OFBiz to help the analyst to construct an uml. Maybe it's possible to convert the diagram result to Graphviz syntax ?
