ActiveRecord UML Diagrams

Boredom set in this weekend so while playing with my UML modeling software, I decided to model some pieces of ActiveRecord. I found that UML doesn't lend itself too well to the Ruby language. Since UML doesn't provide for mixins and modules, I modeled them as stereotyped dependencies and classes. Don't know if they are useful for anyone but they are nice to have for a quick reference to figure out how ActiveRecord is structured with all the mixins and modules.

ActiveRecord

Associations

ConnectionAdapters

What's your UML modeling software? Nice diagrams! I've often wondered what the exceptions are -- I don't think I've ever seen them in the docs.

Out of curiosity, do you know about RAV? (http://rav.rubyforge.org) It won't handle all this complicated stuff for you, but it might provide you with a good starting point. I'd be open to any suggestions you might have towards improving it too.
