I want to create diagram which shows different relations between components.
Something like this example:
Is there similar example or I hate to create custom component?
I am not aware of an open source / free diagramming library for JavaFX (and I couldn't find one using google and the like). However, if you are willing to invest, there is a commercial JavaFX library for diagramming / graph visualization called yFiles for JavaFX. You can try the online demo browser on their homepage.
NetBeans Visual Library JavaFX port
https://github.com/theanuradha/visual-library-fx/releases
https://github.com/theanuradha/visual-library-fx/blob/master/org-netbeans-api-visualfx/src/test/java/test/graphlayout/GridGraphLayoutTest.java
NetBeans Visual Library : https://platform.netbeans.org/graph/.
Try NetBeans Visual Library : https://platform.netbeans.org/graph/.
I don't know if it's implemented in JavaFX but it's compatible and open-source.
VRL Studio might be what you need.
http://vrl-studio.mihosoft.eu/
It looks like FXDiagram might fit this need. It is described as "a framework for creating diagram tools based on JavaFX." The code is on github, but I could not find any license information.
http://jankoehnlein.github.io/FXDiagram/
If you can't find a library, you can simply draw Shapes of the package javafx.scene.shape : Rectangle, Circle Text etc. You can also use SVGPath.
These elements are easily modificable, draggable.
The other solution would be to use a Canvas, but this is much less flexible. (I discourage it)
The Container to include them is a group in the tutorial, I have also used it in a Region container.

UML 1 uses the name Collaboration Diagram. UML 2 uses the name Communication Diagram. In this link you can find the definition and one nice example. Here you can find a nice reference about how to create them.
Unfortunately, I didn't find this diagram in the software I have been using lately: DIA. I think it is not available in WhiteStarUML either. There is a tutorial in the help, but I wasn't able to make it work. As WhiteStarUML is a fork of StartUML, maybe it is just not done yet.
WhiteStarUML Screenshot: there is a folder for Collaboration Diagram but not a file inside to double click it to create it (like the Class Diagrams or UseCase Diagrams)
What your favourite free tool to create those diagrams?
Again, free community edition of Visual Paradygm UML. Until you use one diagram for a project it even can be printed without water signs.
But the communication diagram is very simple, you could easily simulate it with some free diagraming tool. There are many of them, they are easy, simply try and find what you like - intuitivity is too personal thing.
It may not be intuitive but in WhiteStarUML ones creates diagrams (including Collaboration Diagram) using the context menu of the Model Explorer (right click on a package) or chosing from the main menu "Model - Add Diagram". In the Diagram Explorer you only see the existing diagrams.

I need to get diffs of ArgoUML diagrams. Are there any tools that provide Diffing capabilities to do UML?
I constantly make updates to my UML in SVN but I do not have a way to compare different versions.
I have seen UML-like Diff Tool from IntelliJ exists. But are there any other tools that don't require me to use IntelliJ?
Using EMF in Eclipse you can compare two UML diagrams.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF_Compare/UML_Compare
So, you need to convert your ArgoUML to EMF standard by using the following framework.
http://argo2ecore.sourceforge.net/
Maybe some of these version control tools for models can help. They are not UML-specific but as the EMF-Compare tool mentioned before, they work with generic EMF models.
The EMF compare project does not work well. What you get is not really usable.
What I do in my project is to save my model and my diagrams on SVN. I then just look at svn to see modifications. You can not really see the dif insode a graph but it is usually easy to find out what has been modified because the model is composed by Name of the model > Packages > classifiers. The root can therefore be traced and the modified element find out quickly.

I've always wanted to know how CL GUIs like top or nano or vi are constructed? I have a need to actually make one and am looking for a guide or tutorial on the general idea behind them.
Here is a bunch of them.
Also there is a list.
CDK
Dialog
ncurses
Newt, a widget-based toolkit
PDCurses
SMG$
Turbo Vision
You could start by reading about ncurses, it’s a very well-known library to draw on the terminal
Check out TWIN (apparently, inspired by Turbo Vision) by Massimiliano Ghilardi. More screenshots are available here. Be sure to use the GitHub version, as SourceForge repository has been unmaintained since 2002.
If you don't mind your GUI running in a JVM, take a look at Lanterna (Java and Clojure bindings).
I've also seen a post about Turbo Vision "ported" to (or rather rewritten using) C# and XAML, but haven't had a chance to examine it.

What are the free options for creating use case diagrams under Windows? I need some simple use case diagrams for a school project.
Why install anything when you can use free online tools such as
http://creately.com/
http://yuml.me/
http://www.gliffy.com/uses/uml-software/
There are multiple options, but not yet mentioned are:
Cacoo - web tool for creating various diagrams,
Dia - standalone toolf for creating diagrams, with Win32 version also available in downloads,
When I remember right, there is a community edition of Magic Draw (the leading app?): https://www.magicdraw.com/
I already used Poseidon (Community) and ArgoUML, both not really convenient.
Recently I found a great tool called yEd: http://www.yworks.com/de/products_yed_about.htm This can be run via web start. Not really UML but use cases are perfect with yEd.
Apparently there is already something in Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/?project=uml2 I did use it to test. Not yet convincing usability.
Wikipedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unified_Modeling_Language_tools
Edit!
Don't miss the stackoverflow search top right of this page.
There's a pretty nice tool called UML Pad.

I once bought a single license of Microangelo for creating icons which served me well in the past, but now I'm helping run up a new Virtual Machine base for our dev team to use and would like to include a decent free icon editor in there.
I'd prefer something that fully supports creating icons for Windows Vista.
For all those of you thinking "Don't let a developer design graphics!" just pretend I said "for our UI Design Team" instead of "Dev Team", lol. ;)
That's simple, because it's free, powerfull and supports Vista Icons (256x256): IcoFx
On this site you can find a tool for (animated) cursors, too: AniFx
If you want to pay, I'd suggest a more powerful ones: Axialis Iconworkshop
I would use Inkscape to design the icons, and then render them scaled down and convert them to the final format with Gimp
The benefit of this is you can design the icon once, and produce it in many target sizes effortlessly.
That's what the OpenSource world are doing these days :) ( We even have Native SVG Icons now )
I would recommend Paint.NET, or The GIMP. They're not specifically for icons, but will do the job and much more. Also, both free.
EDIT: Paint.NET requires plugin (free).
For icons, there's IcoFX.
