Hello Martin and the others, Thursday, March 31, 2005, 2:03:06 PM, you wrote: MM> at this point of time, we can think about creating a compatibility MM> on the level of XMI - by creating an XMI reader and writer that MM> will be able to read/produce MOF2XMI documents into/from a MOF 1.4 MM> repository. For full MOF 2.0 support we would need JMI 2.0. does this mean that it is possible to read a UML 2.0 model (which is formatted as XMI 2.1) into MDR which is a MOF 1.4 repository? And then access the resulting AST via the old JMI 1.x? This would indeed be a good interim solution for us. MM> We haven't started evaluating the first option yet. At this point MM> there are not enough use-cases for us to invest in that. Well, for us it is THE MAIN USE CASE! AndroMDA is a code generator that follows the MDA specs, so reading models into an AST and generating code from it is most important to us. We have been using MDR happily for more than two years now and would like to continue to use it. We only need the following steps: * read UML 2.0 metamodel and generate JMI interfaces from it * read XMI 2.1 and build an AST * get access to the AST via JMI interfaces * all this for MagicDraw and Poseidon MM> Anyway, it should not be that hard - anyone from the community is MM> welcome to contribute. Martin Martin, which steps would be required to implement the list above in MDR? If you give us a "shepherd" person, we could contribute a solution. Cheers...
