The project itself seems to slightly lack support at the moment, but perhaps this sort of discussion may help kick start the developers again (it is stalled not dead). The other option is to export the code adn put it in pear cvs for pear developer to develop further as a php uml modeling tool in line with the new oo features for PHP5! At this time there is php code generation (though a patch I have by one of the developers), but there is not php import function to document existing classes. It uses javadoc style documentation at the moment as well (that could be altered with a phpdoc style documentation module). Perhaps if there are java developers as part of this list they could take a look at the code so far -- it works just fine and perhaps think about a code import function. I would like to see a 3rd party tools development aids (or separate packages ?) section in pear for such programs, and then upload this to that location. Is that possible, or perhaps even another similar system is in place that is further along with php integration at the moment. I am not a java developer and would not be the right person to take this on board but am happy to apps on the code contacts etc to whoever wishes to take it forward, although as it stands it is a valuable tool.
