FWIW Together would appear to be moving away from the "Code is the Model" approach big time and embracing MDA (at least from what I have read recently)
It will be a big thing for them, but they appear to be publicly supporting Eclipse and the very comprehensive MDA support that it now has with the EMF toolkit. In IBMs own words, EMF is all about adding support for MDA Meta-data in it own model with code generation to target technologically specific "runtimes" will be a big trend IMO, but certainly won't be everybody's cup of Chai. ------------------------------------------------------------ j. matthew pryor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> versata, inc. <www.versata.com> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:uml2ejb-user-admin@;lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Ara Abrahamian Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 1:40 PM To: 'Matthias Bohlen'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 'UML2EJB (E-Mail)' Subject: [Uml2ejb-user] RE: db<->code<->uml? [snip] I know what you are talking about. To tell you the truth I *hate* the way TogetherJ works. Normally I just don't want the round trip feature of TogetherJ, I don't like it. I just want a semi-high level diagram. TogetherJ for me is a sketch, and thank God my boss doesn't want me to draw diagrams for documentation. But, many ppl do love this feature, including you for sure. > 2) Being executable is the main strength of Java - it is a programming > language, not a data format.

Whatever you draw in the diagram anyway turns into something executable, right? We store the meta data in that executable class.
