Hi, Aslak and Ara, now that UML2EJB has its first production-stable release (based on XDoclet 1.2.0-beta1) and at least some productive UML2EJB users, it is time to come back to your original suggestions about tool integration.
IIRC, in our summer discussions, we ended up with an idea about XMI as a kind of "meta-information bus" where different tools like Middlegen and UML2EJB would be able to plug in: * Middlegen would extract a DB schema and write it to XMI (using NSUML?) * Poseidon or other CASE tools would import XMI into UML classes * The human designer would add behavior to the UML classes and save the model * UML2EJB would generate EJBs or something else, using a combined set of Velocity templates from existing projects (especially Middlegen, too!). That way, we would have a nice "J2EE workbench" kind of thing. What do you (and other list members) think about it in the meantime? Cheers... Matthias P.S.: BTW, you were right - UML2EJB will need to be renamed in less than 6 months. :-) --------------- Matthias Bohlen Consulting that helps project teams to succeed... http://www.mbohlen.de ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Xdoclet-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xdoclet-user
