This is a dia feature request, or a request for anyone who has an existing hack that can get the job done.
Need: Convert dia UML diagram to XMI format. Save as format or python/XSLT transforming script, either one would be great. Dia's UML shapes seem quite good. I was able to reproduce a representative section of a large UML diagram for an open-source program, done in Poseidon. The text was a little funky, but the shapes worked perfectly. The output of Poseidon is XMI, an XML standard for UML representations. The XMI feeds a python source code generator for a web application framework (ArchGenXML->Archetypes->Plone). It seems that Dia's UML can get the job done, but the native Dia format can't be used to feed XMI-compatible tools. Unfortunately, Poseidon and its progeny/ancestors are Java GUI applications. I avoid java GUI applications wherever possible, I don't even have a JRE installed. AFAICT, Dia would be the only native graphical XMI generating free-software. Here's hoping XMI export can be added to Dia someday. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
