UMLGraph

UMLGraph - UMLGraph allows the declarative specification and drawing of UML class and sequence diagrams. The current features are part of an ongoing effort aiming to provide support for all types UML diagrams. An IEEE Software article titled On the declarative specification of models explains the rationale behind this approach. The tehnology behind UMLGraph was used to draw many of the diagrams appearing in the award-winning books Code Quality: The Open Source Perspective (Addison Wesley, 2006) and Code Reading: The Open Source Perspective (Addison Wesley, 2003). In addition, the UMLGraphDoc doclet included in this distribution automatically adds UML diagrams to javadoc documentation.

Openmdx

Openmdx - openMDX is a open source MDA application framework. The framework helps you in writing service-oriented, platform-independent applications.

The application's interface is specified with a platform independent model (PIM) and the business logic is implemented as POJOs (plain old Java objects) which are platform-, distribution- and persistence-technology independent. The application can be deployed locally or distributed by using the RESTful, JDO compliant openMDX persistence manager. The resulting applications are lightweight (openmdx-base.jar is only 2.9M) and can be deployed on any J2SE or J2EE platform.

  • Here is how you get started in 2 easy steps
    • Download and install the openMDX SDK. The SDK includes the demo applications Hello World and Workshop.
    • Consult the openMDX documention where you will find step-by-step guides and additional information.

Taylor MDA

Taylor MDA - Taylor's model driven architecture on rails makes creating JEE applications as easy as the much talked about ruby-on-rails, but with all the power of JEE and UML. Business models are defined using simplified UML diagrams following well-defined conventions. These models are then used to generate the exact same ejb3/portlet code your would write by hand. Then use the code as is or modify it as you see fit and your changes will be preserved.

Taylor consists of a set of Eclipse plugins for simplified UML modeling and the generation of JEE code such as: EJB3 entity and session beans, JSR-168 Portlets, and JMS-based business processes. It leverages many other open-source tools instead of reinventing the wheel. Read more about the Architecture.

Why did I write Taylor? Check out my blog entry.

Taylor implements MDA. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is the concept of first defining a Platform Independent Model (PIM) and then using the PIM to generate a Platform Specific Model (PSM). Taylor's simplified UML business models represent the PIM and its customizable templates generate the PSM.

Taylor also applies Convention-based Development. There are many ways to build the same application. But, if proven conventions are followed then code generation and development can be much more productive and can put you on the fast track to success. Hence MDA on rails. Taylor's simplified UML models embody these conventions.

Taylor distingishes itself from other tools by three key concepts:

Specialization/Simpification
Stereotypes/Annotations
Transparency

All relationships are plug-in based extensions off of green. This means that at any time you can add your own relationships! This was added with the pedagogical goal of revealing relationships incrementally to students, and having green reflect only the relationships which our students have knowledge of!

The editor features a simple point-and-click interface. Right-clicking in the editor brings up a context-sensitive menu that includes features such as the refactoring and quick-fix functionality.

Green supports exporting files to both jpg and gif format, so that you can share you diagrams without any issues!

Green is an ongoing project at the University at Buffalo.

IUML

IUML - Kennedy Carter's iUML product suite enables users to realise all the benefits of MDA with Executable UML. iUML models are truly platform independent, making them easier to understand and maintain than the equivalent platform specific models.

The platform independent models developed in iUML constitute long-term assets that capture intellectual property and protect organisations against staff attrition, incomplete documentation and unclear specifications. The code generators developed using iCCG extend this notion to capturing the organisation's expertise in the use of its chosen platform.
