I have no problem with what you've done. I spotted the mail on the MDR list. If anything it raises awareness of ArgoUML and I'm happy with that.
My removal as assigned party is not a reflection of my interest in the issue. I recognise the importance of this feature. I think it will most likely led by someone else though, I'll help out where I can if this is broken into tasks I feel qualified for. We need to start discussing what each developer has in mind for the next stable release. Cheers Bob. On 7/21/06, Roy Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Everyone, I want relive my conscience and confess to doing a little campaigning for issue 3497. http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3497 About a month ago, I initiated email discussions with some of the developers of AndroMDA http://www.andromda.org/ , regarding what they needed to switch from Magic Draw to ArgoUML. The consensus among the AndroMDA developers I contacted was that is was essential that ArgoUML support what we are now calling concurrent model development. Not only do AndroMDA developers need it for their development of AndroMDA, they seemed to believe it was necessary for ArgoUML to be used in commercial development projects. Some of the developers support themselves by doing consulting using the AndroMDA tool. When Issue voting was announced, I sent an email to some of the AndroMDA developers. I told them that the feature was up for voting. It appears that many, if not most of the votes for issue 3497 are from the AndroMDA development team. To quote one of the AndroMDA developers "I think that an implementation of this feature would make Argo quite attractive as a member of an open source MDA tool chain." I hope I haven't violated the spirit of community voting. If I have, I apologize for that. However, I believe that the AndroMDA developers have some valuable experience and insight into what is needed from a UML tool in commercial environments with large models. I think that if ArgoUML provides good support for concurrent model development with its current feature set, along with an Eclipse plug-in and the AndroMDA tool, you have an open source development tool chain roughly equivalent to the IBM/Rational tool suite, which costs around $50,000 USD. cheers, roy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
