The UML options pane should be pluggable. Without a pluggable options pane the UML options will have to know about the options for every UML subsystems, code generation, reverse engineering, diagraming, documenation, etc. The pluggable options pane will allow options panes will allow subsystems to create and manage the options.
the uml options panes are driven off the layer files of the appropriate modules, those that contain options. Due to dependencies between the modules, the options are store in the preferences associated with the core module. So, the framework is in place, but it is rendered worthless by the dependencies in the design of the uml modules.
we now have a new options pane and believe it's a pluggable one.
