That's a work I did previously when we began to think about tools, here is a
list of tools I considered at that moment:

1. Visio, Microsoft, not open source, $$, Agent UML extension (AUML 1)
2. Dia, Dia, open source, free, Agent UML extension (AUML 1)
3. OpenTool, TNI Valiosys, $$, Agent UML extension (AUML 1)
4. Poseidon, Gentleware, $$, possible Agent UML extension
5. IBM Rational Rose, IBM, $$$$$$, Agent UML extension if I remember
6. MetaEdit, Metacase, $$, Agent UML extension?
7. XFig, open source, free, possible Agent UML extension
8. ArgoUML, open source, free, possible Agent UML extension

Hope I forgot nobody

Cheers,
Marc-Philippe
