L.S.,

Is it possible to add a Umodel plugin if Umodel is used integrated in Eclipse?

If so, what are the steps to achieve this?

Since pure UML is not able to describe everything we would like to define,
we would like to use the Eclipse integration and the eclipse DSL feature.

Using custom code generation, we can extract the needed information from
the Umodel project and created DSL files.

Best regards,

Ruud

Hi Ruuddb,

I am not sure if i got your question clearly, but if i did, then...

UModel is not written in java, therefore having UModel as plugin for Eclipse will not be possible. Eclipse plugins have to have exact structure and compliance to the plugin framework.

I compared UModel with other major big players on the UML market, and I must say UModel does the great job by allowing us to open Eclipse .project file. While other tools ask too many questions about locating classes and sources, UModel doesn't ask anything. This can be very annoying for enterprise projects, UModel got it right.

When it comes to "custom code generation", I use eclipse to add code, then I update diagram (right click) in UModel and I get my code visualized. That's how I bridge gaps when something isn't possible in UML.

vriendelijke groeten

Why do you say that UModel has no Eclipse plugin if it there is free UModel Integration Package, which includes plugins for Visual Studio and Eclipse?
