Hi,

from a non-developer view I think its not a good idea to focus on MagicDraw
because with Posiedon AndroMDA offers a low-cost (read "free" for the Community
Edition of Poseidon) MDD/MDA approach. This is an very important aspect I think
and we should be cautious to risk the lable of "free MDD/MDA" when we (the
developers) switch to MagicDraw and a free modeling tool isnt supported 100%
(e.g. all complex examples are in the MagicDraw XMI dialect).

I am not saying that the AndroMDA developers shouldnt use MagicDraw for more
efficient work but I am saying that it might be very important to allow a Posiedon
user work with AndroMDA without any hurdles.


Felix
