Ok, I can figure out there are severals way to share binary files, but this way is against concurrent development.
Between "do not use models" (write code) and "using models" (ArgoUML) there is a solution, probably more, I know the approach of OFBiz.org: using extensively xml,parser and generator to write as few code as possible. XML files are written by hand so CVS is ok for versioning them. I have a dream: finding the way in the middle between UML and hand made xml files that permits concurrent development and usage of UML. So "hand made" can be reserved just for UML models, pasta, ice cream, jam... :-) Regards, Mar > Hello Marco! > > There is always a risk if you let several persons do independent edits > and then shall have a simple line-oriented tool like CVS to handle the > conflicts.
