[Uml-devel] fun with code

[Andrew Sutton]

i just checked in the initial draft of the code generator because i have to go 
run some errands. tons of coffee and a little free time == much work.

so far it's pretty suave. feed it one of the "tweaked" XMI files in mmgen/xmi 
and it'll generate a directory hiearchy with a header file in each. the 
header file declares a namespace, imports all the types from imported 
namespaces using the "using" keyword, and forward declares all the classes 
for the package (namespace). i haven't generated the include dependencies 
yet. soon.

so, if anybody wants to know exactly how many classes there are in UML, open 
mmgen/xmi/uml-1.4.xmi (code is automatically generated when the document is 
opened) and then look for the file UML1.4/UML/UML.h. there's a couple of 
classes.

oh that reminds me. i've been clever. i use the <XMI.model> tag in the XMI 
file to get the actual model name and version. Those two combined form the 
root of the metamodel implementation directory. versioning support built in.

enjoy :)
