Re: [Sunuml-developers] Language for the Project

[Ricardo C. <ric...@ho...>]

Hi nomiad,

Welcome to the team!

Frankly I don't see a relationship in targeting for a language independent
tool (as to its functionality) and coding in a language-independent
platform. StarUML itself is written in a propietary language (I think it was
Delphi) for the propietary Win32 platform while providing support for
different languages through profiles/plug-ins.

Although .net does support several languages, its flagship language is C#.
You really need C# for doing interesting things in .net, which sort of
limits the choice of IDEs to VisualStudio and #develop. Besides, .net is
propietary, not really open.

In previous discussions we sort of had a concensus on using wxWidgets as an
open multi-platform framework. IDE choice was left to each developer. I
think language wasn't decided yet, between Python or C++. We also had agreed
that it would be pluggable, so multilanguage support could be provided
through plugins.

Regards,
 
Ricardo

Hi,

Im nomIad and new to this list.

Star UML is a language independent UML tool.
I think there will be many developers working with a bunch of languages.

This is why i suggest the .NET Technologie. But based on
http://www.mono-project.org for multiple Platform support.

SunUML will be object oriented (hopefully).

I read on the list languages like C#, C++, Phyton, Java... the .net
Technolgie will support all of those languages.
The only limitation is to keep the code seperated in dlls.

Just look at this sample:
http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:_Porting_Winforms_Applications

Ive been working with FlashDevelop since 2 years.
http://www.flashdevelop.org.

Another example an OpenSource IDE for  .net Technologie:
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/

Another advantage is that the code will be system independent. .Net is
running on several processor technolgies.

With NAnt we have an optimal build tool.
With NUnit there is also a unit testing framework available.
SharpDevelop is SVN compatible.

What do you think about that?
