Re: Making Profiles "Discoverable"

Hi Mark,

you can't avoid the display of the whole (system specific) path in the prof=
ile configuration. Also, there is no (relative) standard path to profiles, =
you configure your profile directories in edit->settings->profiles (default=
 XMI directories). Hm, maybe we could strip the displayed path in the profi=
le configuration if it is one of the configured directories?

Sharing profiles: share the XMI files. Everyone who uses it is responsible =
for the loading of the profile in her/his ArgoUML instance. But there is an=
other way to share profiles: wrap them in a module and share the .jar file =
(has just to be put into the ext/ directory of ArgoUML). Easier for the rec=
ipients, but requires developer skills for the creator, unless you use the =
"module generator" module, here is a doc that demonstrate the idea how to d=
o it: http://argouml-modulegenerator.tigris.org/documentation.html
So this module will create the sources of a profile module for you. I can h=
elp you with either that module or directly with the (reusable) profile mod=
ule sources in case you don't want to use the module generator.
