<P>When starting ArgoUML from a command line, there are several extra
possibilities. Try typing:</P>
<P><B class=command>java -jar argouml.jar -help</B> </P>
<P>You will see the instructions:</P><PRE class=programlisting>Usage: [options] [project-file]
Options include:
-big use big fonts
-huge use huge fonts
-nosplash don't display Argo/UML logo
-noedem don't report usage statistics
-nopreload don't preload common classes
-profileload report on load times
-norecentfile don't reload last saved file
-command &lt;arg&gt; command to perform on startup
-batch don't start GUI
You can also set java settings which influence the behaviour of ArgoUML:
-Duser.language [e.g. en]
-Duser.country [e.g. US]
-Dforce.nativelaf [force ArgoUML to use the native look and feel. UNSUPPORTED]
</PRE>
<P>A common problem is that the User Interface is shown in the wrong
language. Below is an easy way to switch back to the English UI. Please be
carefull: the language is in lowercase, the country in uppercase! </P>
<P><B class=command>java -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US -jar
