With more and more clients demanding to use UML, and with OS X just in the mailbox, I'm wondering what UML tool I should look at? Any suggestions?

No, Sherlock just runs an extra process in the background all the time. This might be the best thing for you to do. See the "Foundation Tool" project template, and then use some fo…

Apple hasn't released a pluggable CMM yet - I'm sure they will but I don't know that they are committed to it at this point. Until this happens I wouldn't expend any energy on it.
