Thanks for you answer Todd!
There was no need to try to conveince me, well I'm a user of Rose since
3 years, and won't leave it (don't worry :o) ). I was just seeking for some
really concrete information regarding Rose compliance to UML 1.3 in order
to help me in some work I'm performing, and wich enclose this topic.
Regards,
Francois.

Subject: RE: (ROSE) Rose UML Compliance
There are a lot of issues involved in the compliance question, two major
ones of which are:
- Does the tool support all the icons that are defined by the
specification?
- Does the tool enforce the semantics that are defined by the
specification?
- Does the support that is provided enable customers to do their work
successfully?
To be quite honest with you, Rose, like all other visual modeling tools,
does not support all of UML 1.3. The primary holes in the Rose 2001
version of the product include the following:
- We support three compartments on class icons. UML does not specify a
finite number of compartments
- We have the strongest support for sequence diagramming in the industry,
what with our strong semantic ties between interaction diagram objects,
interaction diagram messages, and the corresponding classes. There are
some areas for improvement, though, including:
+ Supporting all message types that are defined by UML
+ Explicitly supporting UML's object creation and destruction syntax.
+ Explicitly supporting UML's conditional logic notation for sequence
diagrams.
+ Rose work-arounds exist for these omissions, so most customers live
quite well with the current tool
On the good side, Rose is the only tool to support the standard UML
extension for data modeling and is the most compliant tool with respect to
the UML extension for modeling J2EE systems. We also have the most
UML-compliant support in the industry for state modeling.
The fundamental questions to ask yourself are:
- What business need would drive me to incorporate visual modeling into
my development practice?
- Which solution best meets these needs?
Solutions are much more than just tools. They can include:
- Guidance/concepts to improve the way I work. In the Rational camp,
this is Rational Unified Process
- Tools to automate my ability to use the concepts effectively
- Services to accelerate my ability to apply the concepts and use the
tools.
It is not just about fancy tools, even though we have tools as good as
anyone else's. It is about solving your business needs. This takes more
than just tools.
Short question, long answer :-)

Could anyone tell me where can I find documentation about Rose
compliance to UML v1.3 specification?
