class diagram: "abstract" classes and static member/methods

[Souljumper]

hi,

i found Gaphor as a freeware tool for making UML class diagrams. so
far it seems to work fine, but i wasn't able to figure out how i can
define a member variable(attribut) or method(operation) as 'static'.

i'm sure no expert in UML. What i read static attributs are displayed
underlined in UML - how do i make that in Gaphor?

Seconds Question: How do i declare a class as abstract? i used the
checkbox "abstract" but i couldn't see any change in the way the class
is displayed. i expected that something like <<abstract>> or
{abstract} would be added. what i am doing wrong?

thanks for help/reply

At this moment there's now method to declare attributes or methods
static. You may post a ticket

The class name is displayed in italic (cursive).
