Re: MDR Stand-alone

Thanks Marting, things are getting clear...
Although, get more questions:

1-Why i can convert (uml2mof) the poseidon model
example that comes with the tool, even if i change it?
But i cannot convert if i start a new Poseidon
project. One clue i have is the <<metamodel>>
Stereotype in all packages... what if i need classes
outside packages? I've try to use the <<metamodel>> in
the hole model, the uml2mof gives some warnings but, 
apparently, it converts ok.

2-I'm trying to use the mdr in my master's project, a
kind of Code and Interface generation tool, the idea
is to generate code and web interfaces based on UML
models. So the role of the mdr will be parse the XMI
1.2 (UML, like the poseidon ones) and give me the
models objects i.e: Classes, Packages, and so on... My
question is: i'm i on the right way? MDR can do this
for me?

Thanks again

ps: I'm reading all the avaiable resources
(mdr.netbeans.orga)
