[ccmtools-devel] DTD-Java-generator and UML-IDL-converter

[Robert L. <rle...@sb...>]

Hi!

I developed two new tools:

'dtd2java' creates Java classes and a XML parser from DTDs (document type
definition). I use this tool to get a UML parser without the need for
making my own UML metamodel.

With 'uml2idl', you can now design CORBA interfaces and components with
UML. The "CORBA profile for UML" defines a way to that. 'uml2idl' reads
the XMI file (the XML file from your UML editor) and generates IDL and
OCL files => no need for hacking text files any more!
Until now, only the IDL output works. OCL will come as soon as possible.

A added both tools to the CVS repository:
"$CCMTOOLS_HOME/dtd2java" contains the first tool and
"$CCMTOOLS_HOME/uml2idl" the second one.
The documentation is in "$CCMTOOLS_HOME/doc" (only german, sorry).

To create 'uml2idl', do the following:
*  enter $CCMTOOLS_HOME/dtd2java
*  type "./make_tool.sh"
*  type "./make_UML.sh"
*  enter $CCMTOOLS_HOME/uml2idl
*  type "./make_tool.sh"

Now you can use "$CCMTOOLS_HOME/uml2idl/run.sh" to run the tool.

I know, this way of creating and starting the tool is a hack!
Maybe we can integrate the tool into the normal build process.



Robert
