I'd love to learn the name of the tool you used.

What does that mean?  Are your activity diagrams disconnected from the 
Java code?

Do you mean view as in MVC?  What kind of application are we talking 
about here?

Obviously.

I wasn't specifically talking about paper.  Did you include diagrams in 
text documents (design documents) which explained the rationale of the 
design in a more reader friendly way?  If yes, how did you deal with 
updating diagrams?  If not, how did you convey the essence of the design 
to other people (new team members etc.)?

Kind regards
