Hello,
I am searching for a possiblity to enhance an UML-Modeler to create classes/interfaces/.. for a new language.
Because I am new and have no clue which UML-Modeler are available as open source it would be really good if someone could me support with the name of an/some UML-Modeler that give me the possibilty to enhance in a way that I am able to generate classes/interfaces for a new language and that I am able to change in the way I want to.
Sorry for the confusing description. Somehow I am just in the starting process and I am searching for ideas how to get started with this.
Have a nice day,
Vanessa

Hi Vanessa,
for your extension, I suggest that you first decide how deep/shallow it should be: is it enough to use custom stereotypes (they can have arbitrary many properties for aditional parameters) for your model elements, or do you need an extended notation based on the UML metamodel, or do you really need to change the UML metamodel?
Life is easy if you can live with the stereotype approach. Then, you create a profile, apply it to your model, apply stereotypes to model elements, add properties ("tagged values") to the stereotyped model elements if needed, and implement your code generator to consider the stereotypes during code generation.
Changing the notation (creating a custom diagram type) would be possible too. I just can tell how this is done in ArgoUML, because I'm a user/developer in this open source UML editor. I can't help you with other graphical UML editors like UML2Tools or Papyrus. Also I have no clue what to do when you think you need to change the metamodel.
Regards,
Thomas

Hello and thanks for pointing this out, Timothy.
My "project" is to develop an UML-Editor for a new language. I am searching for the GUI that enables the user to build the UML-class-diagram.
This is the base.
With this UML-Editor my task would be to enhance it. I need to develop the code to generate the neccessary code for the classes/interfaces. So I "just" need a UML-Editor as a framework to develop my own implementation for the new language.
What I would like to know is if there is a tool available to enhance, (if yes, which one and what do I have to do to enhance this).
Hope I could clearify what I need and want to do.
Thanks a lot,
Vanessa
