There is a program on Sourceforge called dia2code which transforms UML
to Java or C++. I tried using this program to generate Java but the
code was a bit iffy, so I am thinking about rewriting it using XSLT or
something for two reasons:
1) for a laugh (and more practical experience with XSLT)
2) as hopefully the UML structure in Dia will transform to code with
ease.
However, dia2code is here and this XSLT tool isn't. IIRC, extending
Dia2code shouldn't be too hard - I know almost no C and change the Java
code producer easily. Adding a Perl mode shouldn't be that tough.
