> What does Bertrand Meyer have to do with the history of UML? Good question! While he wasn't involved with the standardization of it, he was one of the first major opponents, primarily because 1) was already a giant in OOP methodology, and 2) had a competing notation (BON). Also he was a real big stickler about "it's not really OOP if you're not using EIFFEL (tee em)". So he had a lot of firsthand knowledge of the early controversies and arguments and stuff.
