improvement: implement webdav so umlet diagrams can be edited in confluence

[GoogleCodeExporter]

it would be great if umlet diagrams could be edited directly in confluence 
using webdav.

Sorry, but I cannot see how a Swing application like UMLet should be integrated 
into a Wiki.
I guess the Confluence developers will not support our diagram format uxf, 
therefore my suggestion would be to add one exported version (eg png or svg) of 
the diagrams together with the uxf file to the wiki. Then you can view it in 
the wiki, but still download, edit and reupload the diagram.

We are currently experimenting with a HTML+Javascript based version of UMLet. 
Perhaps this one can be better integrated into a wiki, but we do not plan 
explicit support for 3rd party software like Confluence.

Sorry for the confusion.  I was thinking more along these lines:

1) UMLet would be able to open uxf diagrams directly from the wiki using webdav.
2) UMLet would be able to save uxf diagrams directly to the wiki using webdav.
3) UXF diagrams saved to the wiki would have an appropriate content type that 
could be registered with the operating system so that clicking on a UXF link in 
the wiki would open cause the operating system to open UMLet with the document 
opened via webdav.
4) UMLet would be able to export directly to the wiki using webdav.

Thanks for the clarification, but at the moment we don't have any experience 
with webdav nor confluence, therefore it would be too time-consuming to 
evaluate or implement such a solution.

As I said before, perhaps the future web version of umlet could be better 
integrated, because one possible feature would be storing diagrams and 
retrieving them using an URL. Such an URL would be easily embeddable in any 
wiki.
But it's still in an experimental state, so it will take some time :)
