Vision

Umbrello is in a good state, when you are able

  • to parse its source code,
  • to draw diagrams and explore its architecture, classes and code
  • make changes to it
  • and generate the code again out of its model, so that you are ready to compile it again.

Or in other words, when you can use Umbrello for developing and improving itself.
