Xmi

Hi,

I would like to work with some UML tools like “UML modeller”. It
generate XMI files, and I have not found any tools to work on XMI files
to generate ruby code or generate XMI from code.

Do you know if there is some project to create this kind of tools as
standalone program or as a plugin for freeRide…

I am newbie on Ruby and I am looking on REXML that seems to be a good
library to do that.

Thanks for your anwswers.

Hi Daniel,

as far as I know such tools do

not exist for Ruby (yet).

I personally would argue that the time it takes
to draw fancy UML models, I might just
code the classes in Ruby and try it out
as a mini-prototype with actual logic – than
just pretty diagrams – but is just me.

If what you need is basic code generation from design-class diagrams
looking into umbrello might perhaps be worth it (uml.sourceforge.net)
though there doesn’t exist a code writer for ruby, writing one would
be pretty trivial.

I think this would be a helpful tool, particularly for very complex
applications and to make for easy porting of applications initially
developed in other languages.

Ok, umbrello is good UML tool, but i think tha it would be more
interesting, to have something that work directly on XMI files to
generate the code or the XMI from the code. I think that make more
simple, if it’s done :), to work with UML on various system and Ruby.

But all the ways are good ;), most signigfiant is to agree corresponding
“Class definition in ruby” and “UML class figure”. When that is done,
make one or other tool can begin.

I dont know if the list is a good place to do that (long thread)?

If it is, I can begin because here it’s possible to have advanced Ruby
user’s point of view…

Hummm… My English is horrible, not ? :))
