 The latter. I realize the former would really be good
 because it avoids reliance on Java, but that sound like
 two steps an once, and I'd like to focus on the petal 
 to dia translation.

OK. This sounds good. Please let me know if you need any help.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I've been looking at CrazyBeans.
My question was really just a check to avoid duplication
of effort in case someone was already working on it.
I plan to give it a try during the Holidays.

In any case, it sounds good to me. :)

I thought i was wrong once but i was mistaken [Re: petal2dia?]

2002-11-22 Thread Alan Horkan

  ignore everyone
  listen to me!!!
  there is a bug report, i might look it up tomorrow ...
 where, when how?

In Gnome Bugzilla under the Dia component of course.  All you had to do
was look, where else might it be.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62397

 Is there a path for transitioning Rose models to dia/UML?

So the question said Dia or UML and XMI is another UML format.
I read the question as Dia UML not Dia or UML.

 Ummm My knee jerk reaction was spot on.

It was not spot on.  Helpful maybe, but you over estimate to say you were
spot on.

Crazybeans is not a part of Dia, nor does it produce Dia or Xfig files
that can be imported into Dia.  While it is a potential path it is not an
actual path.

my head hurts, guess what i blame ... (for the answer see my email from
late last night).

Sincerely
Alan Horkan

Hi,

IMO this is impossible. The petal file is closed-secret-proprietary and
even if it could be reserve engineered the format is subject to change
without notice. I would much rather that there was a suitable open
standard then RatRose and Dia could both conform to it. Unfortunately I
don't think that XMI is quite good enough yet. Other standards are
currently being worked on. In the meantime XML seems the best way to go to
me, since it would then be possible to write XSLT translators when a
standard is finally agreed on.

Regards,

Andrew Marlow.

QUOTE
Rational Rose is probably the most widely used tool for software
engineering processes, although it has some deficiencies (which we will
not discuss here). In this project we tried to tackle one of them
related to the ``roundtrip engineering'' process. One can import source
files into Rose and create class diagrams from them. Vice versa one can
create classes (and IDL specifications or whatever you need) from class
(and other) diagrams. Yet these creation processes can not be
influenced by the user in a convenient, flexible and extensible way.
Another problem is that these models are proprietary and some people
would like to have the possibility to write a converter for these
models into a different format used by another tool, XMI, for example.

ignore everyone
listen to me!!!


there is a bug report, i might look it up tomorrow ...

Rat Rose uses a Lisp like file format
(no nasty binary)
it is reasonably well documented
just that no one has gotten around to adding support for it.

Ha ha ha

other responses were knew jerk reactions ...

XMI would be cool tho'


/me blames alcohol for everthing

Mmm, at first glance (knee jerk), this seems like it has the potential for being much 
easier to implement than XMI support.  Though, I agree, XMI still would be cool, the 
main reason for wanting it at this point is to swap with Rose.

The point is that if we can get the gjc running, we can have support of
xmi and of petal. The guys in argouml have lots of nice java
components, just waited to be cherrypicked..
