Re: open source ColdFusion UML CASE tool
Since UML is a software-independent specification for modeling components, I would be surprised if you found one geared specifically to ColdFusion or Flex. hi steve sorry i should have been more specific what i mean by this is code generation... i was wondering whether there was a uml tool that took the models to build cfc and cfm code. thanks richard ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301858 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: open source ColdFusion UML CASE tool
At work I use Magic Draw, along with the Team Server. Its very good, very powerful, but too powerful for a lot of my development work. But it has some very nice round trip features if you're moving back and forth between your diagrams and test code. Recently I used it to help me reverse engineer a set of java classes. I found it awkward in some ways, but that seemed more personal preference. Its biggest drawback is that its very expensive. Even more so when you're using their team server to collaboratively design a system. Magic Draw has both PC and Mac versions, it also has an eclipse plugin. Unfortunately I cannot use that because its incompatible with the Team Server we use at work Another more basic UML tool is Blu-Jay. It has all the basic diagrams etc. Its free and offers some round trip capacities. What I've found I've been using more and more often at work is the UML Diagram plugin that is a part of the MyEclipse package. It has all the necessary tools and diagrams etc. It exports the diagram in XMI 1.0 format, so you can import it into cfc stub generator. Its a fairly quick way to set up the basic skeleton of your application, along with all the necessary files for coldspring, ant deployment and cfunit tests. ArgoUML or Poseidon are two. there are quite a few, just do a google search on it. hi, thanks we have done a Google search in the pass which led to us using argouml. it needs alot of improvement before it can be of any serious use. so what we are after is not google search results but recommendations from people that use the software and find it great. it doesnt have to be opensource actually as we are just after some great software. ideally it is specifically for coldfusion and flex applications thanks, we look forward to your replies richard ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301859 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: open source ColdFusion UML CASE tool
I think I mentioned this previously but have you looked at CFC Stub Generator? http://cfcstub.riaforge.org/ From the web site: -- Code generator that takes a simple text file and generates CFC stubs, unit tests (either CFUnit or CFCUnit), mock objects, ColdSpring.xml, ANT unit test build script, and test runners. In the latest update, the Stub Generator can also generate components based on an XMI data file. XMI is a standard XML format for describing UML diagrams. I have only tested this with Poseidon UML, but as far as I know any UML tool that can export to XMI should work. Note that the location of the XMI file used in the generation will be used as the base location for the test suite files (the test suite files will be placed in a subdirectory called 'testsuite' beneath the folder containing the XMI file). -- hth, larry hi steve sorry i should have been more specific what i mean by this is code generation... i was wondering whether there was a uml tool that took the models to build cfc and cfm code. thanks richard ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301860 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: open source ColdFusion UML CASE tool
Since UML is a software-independent specification for modeling components, I would be surprised if you found one geared specifically to ColdFusion or Flex. Given that, we use StarUML here (http://staruml.sourceforge.net/en/) because it is easy to use for beginners, but has just enough functionality for advanced users. -Original Message- From: Richard White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 1:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: open source ColdFusion UML CASE tool ArgoUML or Poseidon are two. there are quite a few, just do a google search on it. hi, thanks we have done a Google search in the pass which led to us using argouml. it needs alot of improvement before it can be of any serious use. so what we are after is not google search results but recommendations from people that use the software and find it great. it doesnt have to be opensource actually as we are just after some great software. ideally it is specifically for coldfusion and flex applications thanks, we look forward to your replies richard ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301664 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
