| Description</B></H2> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <P>The UML2 API provides developers with an EMF-based implementation of | |
| the UML 2.0 metamodel for the Eclipse platform. The objectives of this API | |
| are to provide:</P> | |
| <ol> | |
| <li>a useable implementation of the metamodel to support the | |
| development of modeling tools</li> | |
| <li>a common XMI schema to facilitate interchange of semantic | |
| models</li> | |
| <li>test cases as a means of validating the specification</li> | |
| <li>validation rules as a means of defining and enforcing levels of | |
| compliance</li> | |
| </ol> | |

| <BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <P>The initial UML2 API was developed by Kenn Hussey (<a href="mailto:khussey@ca.ibm.com">khussey@ca.ibm.com</a>) | |
| and others at IBM. Kenn is the proposed lead for the UML2 subproject. He | |
| is currently looking for people who would like to help on this project. | |
| </P> | |
| <P>Partners in this initiative include Borland, Unisys, Fujitsu, and | |
| Ericsson. | |
| </P> | |
| </BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <H3><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">Status</SPAN></H3> | |
| <BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <P>The current implementation is nearly complete; it is based on EMF | |
| Release Version 1.1.1 for Eclipse 2.1.1. The API and associated XMI | |
| schema are expected to change (perhaps significantly) as the UML 2.0 | |
| specification progresses through the finalization process. It is | |
| expected that the UML2 API will be used as the basis for several | |
| upcoming commercial products.</P> | |
| </BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <H3><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">Platforms</SPAN></H3> | |
| <BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <P>The plug-ins are written in Java with no native code and thus may be | |
| ported to any platform supported by Eclipse.</P> | |
| </BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <H3><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">Content</SPAN></H3> | |
| <BLOCKQUOTE> | |
| <P>Six plug-ins are included:</P> | |
| <UL> | |
| <LI>org.eclipse.uml2 - Java interfaces and implementation classes for | |
| all the classes in the model, plus a factory and package (meta data) | |
| implementation class | |
| <LI>org.eclipse.uml2.edit - implementation classes that adapt the | |
| model classes for editing and display | |
| <LI>org.eclipse.uml2.edit.tests - JUnit unit tests for the edit implementation classes | |
| <LI>org.eclipse.uml2.editor - a properly structured editor that | |
| conforms to the recommended style for Eclipse EMF model editors and | |
| serves as a starting point from which to start customizing | |
| <LI>org.eclipse.uml2.tests - JUnit unit tests for the model | |
| implementation classes | |
| <LI>com.ibm.uml2.example - an example showing how an EMF model can be | |
| converted to/from a UML2 model (to which an Ecore profile has been | |
| applied) </LI> | |
| <LI>com.ibm.uml2.example.ui - custom actions and import wizards that invoke the | |
| converters </LI> | |
| </UL> | |
