What are best (free) CASE tools for Java? (linux)

What I have now is only text editor + ArgoUML for UML drawing and thats it.

Argo can produce the "skeletons" for java classes from UML but as far as I
know it can't produce UML from java code / update UML.

Poseidon (the commercial verison of Argo) can import java code and
produce UML class diagrams. It also has roundtrip engineering that
allows you to hand edit the java files and the UML while keeping the two
in sync.

The "UML reverse engineering" is not bad, sometimes it misses out
relationships between classes.

SunONE and WebSphere are pretty good IDEs but they don't help with the
modelling side.
