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

Hi Robert -

Welcome to the CCM Tools ! I haven't looked at the code for your new
tools, but it looks like you've been working on them quite a bit
already. It's excellent that we now have a UML -> IDL link in the CCM
Tools developer chain.

If you get a chance, I'd appreciate it if you could briefly describe
what those recently added MDR/MOF files do ... are they for
documentation, or examples, or will they be used as code generation
resources somehow ? Do we need to do something to add them to the
autotools build structure ?

No problem ; the autotools are quite complex sometimes. For now, I'll
add these files to the existing autotools build structure ; shouldn't be
a problem at all.

However, it might take a week or so to integrate your new tools and
libraries nicely into the ccmtools. I'll work on this, too, if you don't
mind ... especially since I've got some pending autotools work to get
things working with the external environment libraries. I'll probably
want to move some of your executables to other places in the source
tree, but I'll check with you before changing stuff too much. :-)
