Hi Rahul, I went back to the archives and I am just wondering if you found out if the plugin to convert from "EMF model for the statechart diagram" to "its SCXML document serialization" is going to be available for free?
<snip/> Last I heard [1], but it will take time (few months, my speculation).
On the other hand it is clear that we need something like: UML <=A=> XMI <=B=> SCXML where A=Graphical UML tool (Rational Modeler for example) and B=XSLT The whole functionality could be accomplished thru a plugin made for Rational Modeler and the main task is just to write the XSLT part.
<snap/> You got the plugin part right, but it should be a first-class transformation plugin (each set of tooling has their own APIs, Rational has a transformation API that is useful here). XSLT is going to be fragile (not to mention tricky to begin with -- have you seen the raw XMI ;-)
Of course if the plugin has already be developed applying DRY we should just get is, use it and extend it if necessary (SCXML is still a Draft so some extensions will be necessary).
<snip/> Agreed. -Rahul [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=jakarta-commons-user&m=116232392213049&w=2
Thoughts? Thanks, -Nestor [1] http://uml2svg.sourceforge.net/ [2]
