I didn't mean it to be a secret XD One of them is JDownloader as it is listed[1] as one of the "wanted ports". The other one is Visual Paradigm[2] that seems to me a better tool than other similar present in the ports like ArgoUML (that I had to use recently). JDownloader launches an update utility (graphical) to download the latest package from the web site and installs it in the $HOME directory. VisualParadigm uses a graphical installer in the normal Unix package. There is also a Unix non-installer package but trying to launch the application as provided by this package assumes it is the Enterprise Edition so it just works as an 30 day evalution copy.
