Overview

This tool is about converting KDM models into Eclipse UML2 models in order to allow integrating KDM-compliant tools (i.e. discoverers) with UML2-compliant tools (e.g. modelers, model transformation tools, code generators, etc).

This tool is provided by MIA-Software and its development is being supported by the IST European MODELPLEX project (MODELing solution for comPLEX software systems, FP6-IP 34081).
The overall approach is summarized in the following figure:



Using the KDM to UML Converter for integrating KDM tools with UML2 tools

The converter is implemented by an ATL model-to-model transformation taking as input a model conforming to the KDM metamodel and producing as ouptut a model conforming to the UML metamodel. Thus, each KDM input model elements are converted into their corresponding UML output model elements.
We provide below an example showing a KDM sample model and the equivalent generated UML model.

Modelplex use case

The goal of this use case is to obtain a UML model of a java application. It combines JavaDiscoverer with KdmToUmlConverter to attain this goal. And it offers a way to customize easily these transformation chains.

Model filter use case

The goal of this use case is to obtain a specific UML model of a java element, final model describes dependencies from selected element to other elements, and it contains only required informations (it is a mimimalist model). It combines JavaDiscoverer with KdmToUmlConverter to attain this goal.
