I've been having to do java code via a product called togethersoft which is an IDE/UML/XML roundtrip editor (Definately NOT Open Source). As I've learned to hack without any University Enducation I've always laughed at flow charts, but UML is a whole new ball game. It's allowing me to get my code to communicate at a different level as well as teaching me to visualize what I'm working on in a way others think it.
Writing a Perl/UML tool in java would not be the wrong choice. It would be a huge challenge given the 'loose coupling' of Perl OO, but from what I've seen it would bring more legitimacy to Perl as a corporate tool. I'm seeing where Perl and Java could have a symbiotic relationship. Java needs Perl for Application management and distribution, using Java to make a Perl app doesn't seem like too big of a sin *g*.
An interesting side note the togethersoft people use SLASHcode for their community site.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
