AW: [Uml-devel] Code Generation

[De-La-Parra, Luis]

Hi Chris!

well.. I didnt know about this other project, dia2code, but thanks for the
tip. I?ll check it out.

I just found out about UML Modeller one or two weeks ago, so I downloaded
UML from CVS last week(?) I think on the 12.06 to see how it was and since I
didnt see any code generation code and I wanted to start using UML Modeller
for other projects I just started coding it. 

Right now I have no internet access at home, and at work I cannot spend too
much time surfing around, so I was not in the list till today, and like i
said, I still have to take a loot at dia2code, but for what I?ve read in the
archives, it reads XMI files and outputs code?  
The code I wrote is pretty much specific to UML Modeller, cuz it works
directly from the UMLDoc object, so it is probably not as flexible (ie, it
is not too easy to use it with other projects, but if you use it for uml
modeller you can add languages relatively easy.... i think). So, anyways, if
you guys want it, I can try to clean it up a little  (I had never worked
with dl libraries before, so the code isnt exactly nice-looking) and then I
can send it to you and you can decide if you want to use it or not.

Regards,

luis.

Hi Luis,

If you would like, you could take a look at the
dia2code project(dia2code.sourceforge.net) for some
potential inspiration(or to see what not to do). The
project is a bit inactive at the moment but we've
managed to get several languages supported with it.

In the near future, it is hoped that uml will support
XMI so that we can add a new front-end to dia2code to
support it.

This is great. More than one code generator out there
will allow more great ideas to float around.
