Thanx a lot for sharing! I'll take some time to test it tonight. :)
Is it handling strong-typing in generated code ?
codealloy umlconverter didn't ( http://www.codealloy.com/umlconverter.htm ).
So that would be good news.
The fact that you wanna share source code is great news too!
thanx again Darron,
francis

Subject: [osflash] ActionScript 2.0 Code Generator
I've been sitting on this for a *long* time (since early this year). I
would've released this sooner but ran into a legal / non disclosure
problems - because my original Code Generator was created on company time,
I wasn't allowed to release it open source or even distribute it, so I
went ahead and had to rebuild it from scratch on my own time. It was a
pain in the butt, but I finally have something working again.
Because Aral is away right now, the source is still "closed" for the
moment, but I plan on trying to get it added to the OSFlash hosted
projects. The source code will be released under the GPL. In the
meantime, you can find the download here:
http://www.darronschall.com/downloads/Xmi2As.zip
It was written in Java using SWT, so it's cross-platform native-UI, but
right now I've only provided a windows binary. There's still a few things
I want to do before "officially" releasing this, so I'm holding off on
building the OS X version. If enough people want to try an OS X version,
let me know and I'll get a build out sooner rather than later.
Usage is as follows:
Launch the .exe and browse for the .xmi file (exported from your favorite
UML modeling program, like ArgoUML). Pick the directory to put the
generated classes, and hit generate.
You can also use it from the command line: > xmi2as model.xmi
output_directory
If you use it from the command line though, the error output isn't
displayed if something goes wrong. Because I'm using an .exe wrapper
(JSmooth) for a. jar file, the error messages don't make it to the screen
unfortunately. If it doesn't generate the classes, my first guess at
troubleshooting would be to make sure the output directory exists. The
error messages appear just fine when using the GUI version though, so if
you get stuck just try the GUI. I wanted to make sure a command line
version existed so that the process could be automated. I love ant. :-)
I've tested this again a few class diagrams and all seems to work well,
but if you run into anything weird, let me know. There's still a piece of
functionality missing, and that's generating all of the import statements
for classes and interfaces. For now you'll have to add the imports by
hand, but I'll fix that whenever I get a chance. I also want to add a
command line switch for generate javadoc comments (currently its turned
on, and the only way to turn it off is to recompile the code).
Anyway, I wanted to preview this on the list. Try not to announce this
"publicly" just yet (i..e on your weblog or in other news groups).
Whenever Aral gets back, I'll need to try to convince him to set up a
project on sourcesecure for me, then I'll release the code as well. Once
I get the source code out there, I'll make this release "official" and
announce it publicly. Consider this an early beta for the osflash list.
;-)
