We study in this paper the use of UML as a tool for modelling the
process of software construction. As a case study, we deal with the process of
building a library of software components. UML is used in order to define the
static part of the process, i.e., the elements that take part on it and their structural
relationships. We think that our approach supports some interesting properties
in the field of software process modelling (e.g.: modularity; expressivity
in model construction; sound formal basis; and flexibility in model enactment).
Besides showing the adequacy of UML for modelling the static part, the paper
outlines also some drawbacks concerning the description of the dynamic behaviour
of the process using only UML, and some possible solutions to them.
