- \section{\cb FAQ - Glosary}

- API - Application Programming Interface

- An API provides set of standard building blocks for programmers to use
- to make custom applications which interface to a particular resource.

- %CONTRIBUTING TO PYMERASE
- \section{\cb FAQ - Contributing to Pymerase}
- \subsection{\cb Can I contribute to Pymerase?}
- Yes, anyone with the will to help may contribute to the Pymerase
- project. Be it with programming skills, documentation, examples, money
- or good old moral support, we could use all the help we can get. If
- you would like contribute in any way please send an e-mail to
- pymerase-devel at lists.sourceforge.net or contact on of the current
- developers.
-
- \subsection{\cb What ways can I contribute?}
- Pymerase as an open source project services from the support of the
- Open Source community. Any help is welcome. Becoming a programmer
- is probably the most obvious way to help, but is not the only way one
- can contribute.
-
- Here is just a small list of things one can do to help:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item writing documentation
- \item testing code
- \item creating examples
- \item updating the web site
- \item contributing expertise
- \item contributing ideas
- \item funding development
- \end{itemize}
-
- Please send e-mail to the mailing list pymerase-devel at
- lists.sourceforge.net if you would like to contribute in any way.
! \subsection{\cb How can I help fund development and how will it help?}
! If you would like to help fund the Pymerase project or other projects
! in the Wold Lab please contact Barbara Wold or send an e-mail to
! pymerase-devel at lists.sourceforge.net. You can find out more about
! the Wold Lab in section \ref{woldlab}
- Additional funding for Pymerase would help in many ways. First of all,
- Diane and myself (Brandon) also work on other projects in the Wold
- Lab, so not all of our time goes into the project. Funding would help
- with the continuing development by providing more time for us to work
- on the project or the hiring of more programmers to work on the
- project.

! \section{\cb FAQ - Bin}
! \subsection{\cb General}
! \subsubsection{\cb How do I run Pymerase?}
! There is a document called ``Pymerase Docs - Running Pymerase'' which
! you should find useful. It covers four ways in which you can run
! Pymerase. These include, in python, command line, GUI, and web
! interfaces.
! \subsection{\cb Pymweb}
! \subsubsection{\cb What is Pymweb?}
! Pymweb is web front end for running Pymerase. It's useful if you would
! like to maintain one installation of Pymerase or if you would like to
! expose Pymerase to a number of users.

\subsection{\cb parseXMI}
+ \subsubsection{\cb What happend to Jython?}
+ parseXMI use to use a Java xmi parser which prevented parseXMI from
+ running under Python. Now parseXMI is using SMW, which is a python xmi
+ parser, so we no longer need Jython. We are no longer supporting
+ Jython as we would like to use Python v2.2 features. Jython is
+ currently (5/2/2003) at v2.1.

\subsubsection{\cb Does parseXMI support all versions of
XMI?}\label{argouml}
***************
*** 157,168 ****
different versions of XMI can become incompatible with previous
versions. Supporting XMI was difficult in the first place as it's a
! complicated standard. The XMI parser that was used in parseXMI was
! written in Java, so Jython has to be used when running
! parseXMI. Please read section \ref{jython} as it contains important
! information about XMI and Jython.
! I will have to find out what the latest version of ArgoUML that can be
! used before they switch over to a new XMI parser. I know
! ArgoUML~v0.10.* should work with Pymerase.
If you want to know more information on which versions of ArgoUML

! I will have to compile a list and post it to the Pymerase website as
! soon as I figure out which versions of ArgoUML, Poseidon, and the SMW

- \subsubsection{\cb Why does parseXMI only work with
- Jython?}\label{jythonxmi}
- Finding an XMI parser that is developed enough and has documentation
- on how to use it is difficult at this point in time. The XMI parser
- that Diane used in parseXMI is written in Java, so Jython has to be
- used when using the parseXMI input module. Please read section
- \ref{jython} for important information about near future changes to
- Pymerase.
-
- \subsubsection{\cb What about this Jython dependancy? It's really annoying!}\label{jython}
- The dependancy on and support for Jython will be removed in the
- near future. Diane has discovered a way of allowing parseXMI to work
- under Python. The changes will be checked into CVS in the near
- future. (4/22/2003)
