AW: [Uml-devel] Code Generation

[Chris McGee]

Hi Luis,

I'm glad that I've been able to spread the word a
little about dia2code.

Your code generator will likely be quicker(being more
integrated into the uml modeller) and won't suffer
from the potential problems that may occur from trying
to be too many things to too many people like dia2code
is gradually becoming.

As for XMI, well, the front end hasn't been written
yet. I'll probably begin coding it as soon as uml has
XMI included in a full release.

It should be interesting to see the two different
directions that are taken with these code generators.

Anyways, Happy Coding!

Chris
