I know that people were talking about ME integrating MDE, and how the Omonodo team doesn’t like to play nice with the other kids… but after looking through the other Eclipse tools projects, there is pretty prominent one up there (UML2) along side the newly announced VE plugin.

While looking through the getting started guide, it seems that the UML2 tool already supports UML graphing and so forth:

Would this be a better/alternative solution to the ME UML situation? Its open source which helps ease the cost of development for the ME team.

Best,

Riyad,

Actually, I don’t think this is true. What the project is trying to do is create the low-level UML2 metamodel for tool interoperability. To my knowledge no end user tools are included. Did you try it out and find something different?

Hmm no I didn’t try it out, but when I saw this guide:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/uml2-home/docs/articles/Getting_Started_with_UML2/article.html

and saw the screenshots, I just figured that was the plugin doing its magic.

It does look like something, but I’m not sure if the model they show at the start was generated with the UML tools or is simply for example. Someone really needs to download the codebase to get to the bottom of it. If there really are tools for the basic UML models in there, which I doubt, we’ll definately be interested in assimilating ing into MyEclipse. 🙂

I volunteer Michael to do it

Ok, tell him you thought of it though.
