    That's very cool, thanks for creating this and sharing it. I'll add it to the yUML "WildThing" page :)

    Very cool. Maybe wrap the request url in URI.escape as when I tried the example it was missing some bits but this change fixed it.

    @tissak your changes are merged, there's a new version available. Thanks!

    This is pretty interesting. I will definitely be adding this to my war chest of coding tools.

    Very nice! I love the informal look of the generated UML too... UML is often taken too seriously; with this look, and the ease of regeneration, UML can be useful again.

    It's even easier with this DSL on top of yUML DSL ;)

    This looks pretty cool. But I can't get the gem to install. I've tried both "sudo gem install" and a build off the gemspec.

    The install says it can't find the gem.

    The build gives a Gem::InvalidSpecificationException and says that all the files in the folder "are not files"

    Any ideas why I'm seeing this? I'd really like to try this out.

    @smathis: the gem is located at gemcutter.

    'sudo gem install yumlcmd --source http://gemcutter.org' should do it.

    Thanks. That did it.

    You can also give a try to http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/ which allows to create UML diagrams from text description

    Great idea! With yuml it is really easy to create AND maintain UML diagrams!
