Re: Status, Source code, Docs

Hi Stefan,
MDR source code is not distributed in a separate zip. You can either get 
it as part of the src.zip for whole NetBeans or you can check it out 
from the cvs (see instructions on MDR web). The sources of MDR and 
UML2MOF tool are also browsable on the web (go to MDR home page and 
choose "Browse source" from the menu bar on the left.
There is no real tutorial for MDR. You can look at 
http://mdr.netbeans.org/example.html for a simple example. The source of 
UML2MOF tool (http://mdr.netbeans.org/uml2mof) serves as a more 
complicated example. Some use-cases are also covered in the 
architectural overview linked from javadocs.
MDR is currently part of NetBeans 4.0 (released last week). We will 
still make some changes to the API, but these will be properly 
documented (in API Changes document) and announced in advance on this 
mailing list.
Regards,
Martin
