Thank for the link which is dealing with State diagram. It could be interesting to add templates and directly generate code from other diagrams and not just class diagram. If you write your code by hand or generate it by MDD it is the same problem b…
on Wednesday
MDD uses templates to generate language code (e.g. C++, C#, Java, Cobol etc...) therefore you can create multithreaded projects if the code allows it. btw, the multithread codding in Java language is very painful and I have never seen multithreaded…

I was reading yesterday Geert Bellekens post on this forum and realized that I am not the only to think about free models exchange or even donation. Many companies have advanced projects models which had used UML but all this information is not reus…

I have signed today. My experience related to UML models started with Novosoft in 2001 which was a good metamodel for UML 1.x. Our EclipseUML free edition was using Novosoft from 2002 to 2004/2005 as internal models and EMF as graphical and for gene…

Hi Geert, This is really a nice post !! I see two technical problems in the traditional UML modeling in order to use our models and exchange them with other users. - the idea that the important model is the UML graphical diagram was right 10 years…

Sure, I'd love to comment on AndroMDA occasionally. There's been quite a lot of work going on over the last few months, after being stagnant for about two years, with several new committers (including myself) coming onboard.

Personally, I'm just a corporate developer/architect, not a consultant. Our main focus here is simply getting things done quickly and moving onto the next project, we don't get paid by the hour and don't have lots of time to create elegant architectures and project-specific design pattern implementations, that's why we chose andromda about two years ago as our MDA tool. I saw lots of opportunity for improvement (i.e. UML2 2.x support, JAX-WS support), implemented those internally, and then contributed them back to the project. We also liked maven, though it took some time to work through some of the quirks and bugs but it's pretty stable now.

the problem is not the market but what media said about open source. It's free, no need to train people, no need to invest in any way. We are back to the sad days of Visio ... And even Visio ...
The way people do Agile also kills architecture in a certain way.

Architecture is not an appreciated job, modeler also. That's a great opportunity for some companies, to kill others. And i'm not confident on the future of companies like mine or the one you cite. Somebody as to pay the technical debt ...

It's not my house, but what my company is currently buidling and the way people are thinking. The financial crisis was a good opportunity to destroy everything I built the last two years. No more architecture pattern, no more documentation, 100% budget cut and all architects back to coding (we fired all suppliers). The technical debt is growing enormously, but nobody cares except me. And i'm not the only one. At least with MDD, I will be sure that some foundations will be enforced.

As I said, no problem.

The example in your comment didn't seem to demonstrate interchange of models and diagrams between tools. Obviously, if you use the same tool then interchange is possible. However, many people see a major benefit of UML being that there are multiple tool vendors ensuring that they don't get locked in. However, at present, most UML users do get locked in to the tools they use. For me, the main issue is whether I can get off-the-shelf modelled packages which solve significant portions of my current problem and that can be integrated into my application without a significant performance hit. I don't believe that will ever happen with UML since the standard didn't start with that as an objective and there are now too many vested interests to fix UML (or XMI). Look at my website for details of how I am trying to make it happen with Shlaer-Mellor OOA/RD (and Executable UML as a profile of Shaer-Mellor!).

The MDA market is dying because UML/XMI is a crap standard that hasn't facilitated reuse across the industry. People are so busy trying to reuse the many standards that make up the MDA umbrella that they have lost sight of the fact that they should be trying to reuse software at a higher level than plain old function libraries. A goal which can't be achieved using those standards anyway!

You sound like a quite disappointed professional...
