I have worked with the latest ArgoUML release using IBM's JDK-1.3, on
woody, without any problems. My approach to Java on Debian up till now
has been to download the JDK I want and install it in /usr/local.

Setting up ArgoUML requires that you have a JDK 1.2 or higher JVM in
your path; then you can run ArgoUML using the supplied jar file.
