Hi Chad, glad that our software pleases you! Thanks for the offer to help. We really appreciate that.
I think, there are some basic steps that future AndroMDA developers should take: * read the project summary at http://sourceforge.net/projects/andromda/ * read about patches, feature requests and bugs of the product * subscribe to andromda-devel, andromda-cvs and andromda-user (see http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=73047) * check out the CVS version of AndroMDA and recompile it (see http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=73047) * discuss a change to AndroMDA on the andromda-devel list * submit a good patch to solve an interesting problem with AndroMDA (see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=73047&atid=536547) There is an open task that nobody solved till today: Would you be interested to make the CodeUnit framework (part of XDoclet) work for AndroMDA? CodeUnit is a JUnit extension that allows you to compare two APIs with each other automatically. The intention is to write regression tests for our cartridges. You generate a set of reference source code files with one version of AndroMDA. You build a new version, run it again and get a set of new files. You use CodeUnit to compare the API in the new files against the API in the old files. If they differ, CodeUnit throws a JUnit AssertionError. I forward you a separate Email from Ralf Wirdemann, a former UML2EJB developer (the predecessor project of AndroMDA). He tried CodeUnit and made it work with UML2EJB - however, nobody ported it to AndroMDA till today. From that email, you can see how it works and maybe you can adapt it to use the current code base. Please submit the solution as a patch in AndroMDA's patch area (link see above). We'll examine it and if the code is good, you'll get committer rights for our CVS repository and become an official member of the team. Wanna do that? :-) Have fun...
