The Pet Store-like model-driven sample application is now available. This initial version contains UML models for a few of the key entities, and generates the domain model classes and their corresponding Hibernate mapping files. I noticed the generated mapping files (or maybe the models) have a few issues and/or missing elements, but as a first stab I am quite happy. Please give it a try. It is a great way example of how the TextUML Toolkit can be used in the context of code generation, in this case, with the awesome Acceleo tool (open-source). Note this is just an example – you should be able to use any UML2-based Acceleo modules (like those available from Acceleo’s module repository) and generate code from any UML models you create using the TextUML Toolkit.
In addition to the sample application, the latest TextUML Toolkit release candidate (RC3) is also now available, both as a standalone download and as an update site, as usual. Work items delivered in this build:
- ticket #182 – associations end up with one single member end
- ticket #183 – cannot define stereotypes on stereotypes
- ticket #167 – provide sample application
To my fellow 30-dayers – yes, its 8 days past the 30 day deadline, but unless I get a serious bug reported during this week, this is it, I am about to achieve my modest goals (yay!) of shipping 1.0 and a sample application (remember, I started working on the TextUML Toolkit quite while ago). The only planned change for 1.0 is basically updating the splash screen to sport the elusive 1.0 version number.
Feedback on RC3 or the sample application is most welcome. As usual, feel free to comment here or on the forums.
Cheers,
Rafael
