David,

Have you looked at the community edition of Together Control Center?  There's
a download at:

http://www.togethercommunity.com/tcccommunityedition.jsp

I haven't looked at the community edition at all, but we use Together Control
Center under a commercial license (expensive!), and it works quite well.  It's
not perfect, but then there aren't any UML CASE tools that are.

It's 100% Java, and requires a decent amount of RAM to run nicely.
